Algonquin Arts Theatre Partners with Local Businesses for a Colorful Community Contest Ahead of October

(MANASQUAN, NJ) -- Algonquin Arts Theatre is painting the town with vibrant hues as they gear up for their October production of the beloved musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. In a unique collaboration with local businesses, the theatre is launching an exciting community-wide contest that invites residents and visitors alike to join in the fun by discovering the 29 colors mentioned in Joseph's iconic coat.

Starting September 12 and running through October 18, businesses throughout Manasquan will display special color cards, each featuring one of the 29 colors and a QR code. Participants can scan the QR code to enter the contest, with each color found serving as an additional entry. The more colors you find, the better your chances of winning an array of fabulous prizes, including tickets to the highly anticipated performances at Algonquin Arts Theatre.

It's a wonderful example of how the arts can create synergy and foster a sense of unity in our town.”

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice will run at Algonquin Arts Theatre from October 11 through October 20.

Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility tells the captivating tale of the Dashwood sisters as they attempt to navigate financial strife, would-be suitors, and the rigid edicts of English society following the death of their father.

Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the campus of Drew University from September 4-22, 2024.
