The Woodlands College Park is going Technicolor® with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s irresistible story of Joseph, his jealous brothers and one very colorful garment in this delightful musical parable that swirls on stage January 19 through the 22nd. This thrilling musical adventure follows the Biblical story of Joseph, the favorite son blessed with prophetic dreams, on his journey to Egypt after being sold into slavery by his brothers. Audiences will enjoy an engaging crazy quilt of musical styles, from country-western to calypso and bubble-gum pop to rock 'n' roll. The production includes the popular songs “Go, Go, Go Joseph” and “Any Dream Will Do,” performed by an all-star cast along with a group of children selected from College Park’s Feeder elementaries and middle schools.
This timeless tale of Joseph is filled with surprising humor for adults and dazzling delights for children. Bring the whole family for this amazing adventure through a timeless tale with some fantastically talented young artists.

Notes from the Clinic:
During the first quarter of the Monday Night Football game on January 2, 24-year-old Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field. The on-site medical team and paramedics responded quickly — removing his safety pads to begin CPR and applying an automated external defibrillator (AED) — restarting Damar's heart before rushing him to a nearby hospital for additional treatment.
What is cardiac arrest, and why are CPR and AED so important?
Cardiac arrest is when the heart stops abruptly with little or no warning. Early recognition of cardiac arrest improves the person’s chance of survival and is key to starting the correct care of CPR and the appropriate use of defibrillation to restart the heart.
CPR can help keep the heart pumping and blood flowing to vital organs until an electrical shock from a defibrillator is available to restore the heart to a normal heart rhythm.
What you need to know about CPR
Each year in the United States, an estimated 350,000 people experience sudden cardiac arrest in the community. Roughly 70% of cardiac arrests that do not happen in the hospital, occur in homes and private residences, therefore, a friend or family member is mostly likely to be the person who needs to take action. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.
Resources you can use
We’ve gathered some important resources you can use to learn more cardiac arrest and CPR below.
