Cast of Joseph wear hospital scrubs donated by Dr. William Fritz to the show & theatre. The scrubs will be part of the ensemble costume for the show.

"When the concept of using medical scrubs as part of the costume came up, we just thought it was natural to get one of the local surgeons involved," said producer Victoria Beal. "Dr. Fritz generously offered to buy all the suits we needed. Now, thanks to Dr. Fritz, the theatre has 30 sets of scrubs that will be used for this show and I'm sure you'll recognized bits and pieces in Barrow shows for years to come!" Beals continued.

Our thanks to Dr. Fritz for helping support Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
