Westminster Presents "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"

The Westminster College Chapel Drama, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," will be presented Sunday, April 24, at 2 and 7 p.m. in Wallace Memorial Chapel.

This collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, tells a story of Joseph, one of 12 brothers, who is spoiled by his father and hated by his jealous brothers.  The story makes a dramatic change when Joseph's brothers sell him into slavery, and ends with a lesson in forgiveness.

This family-oriented production is free and open to the public.  Contact the Westminster College Chapel Office at (724) 946-7115 for more information.


Education Professor Co-Chair of Young People Book Committee

Dr. Amy Camardese, assistant professor of education at Westminster College, was recently selected as co-chair of the Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Book Committee.

 "This committee read over 400 books and selected 118 of them for the 2006 list," Camardese said. 

 The committee, appointed by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), looks for books that emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, and present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic.  

 Camardese, who has been with Westminster College since 2001, earned her undergraduate from the Ohio University, her master's from the University of Pittsburgh, and her Ph.D. from Kent State University.
