The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar's wife lands him in jail. When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

Cast: Keith Gruber, Marlee Goodman, Hannah McEvilly, Evan Underbrink, Kaley Klecka, Scott Brown, Eric Simon, Keaton Brandt, Hannah McEvilly, Martha Zo Ryland, Ellie Zambarano, Makenna Brandt, Elizabeth Delgado-Savage, Anna McGuire, Noa Porton, Kelly Scalpati, Sophie Poole, Eva Ackerman, and Alia Vinson.

Saturday, Dec.27, 2008 4pm

You and your whole family are invited to Austin’s most famous Party Between the Parties, the HOLIDAY HOUSE PARTY. This year it’s in the theatre at The VORTEX on Saturday, December 27, 2008 at 4pm. (Tickets: $5-$20)

Once the wrapping paper has cleared and the leftovers consumed, the New Year is right around the bend. And it’s at this time every year that local socialite Henrietta Hasselfree hosts her annual HOLIDAY HOUSE PARTY.

Bring the whole family to meet our fabulous hostess, Henrietta Hasselfree, as she gets things jumping with an unusual cast of party guests including Tex with the Reindeer Game of the Year, Opie with his favorite holiday story, Nelda the New Year's Hypnotist, grumpy neighbor Mrs. Barrelhead, and of course Father Time, who stops by to start the Craziest-Race-Ever to ring in the New Year. And everyone gets to make a fabulous party hat for the occasion.

Filled with surprises, HOLIDAY HOUSE PARTY is an over-the-top audience participation event filled with laughter and fun for the entire family.

Tickets are sliding scale $5-$20.
Available in advance through The VORTEX Box Office on-line or over the phone. www.vortexrep.org or 512-478-LAVA.

The HOLIDAY HOUSE PARTY is more fun than going to the movies (again) and better than hanging out at home (some more) on the long holiday weekend. Bring the gang for some live entertainment and come on out to the Holiday House Party!!
