(COVINGTON, KY) – The Carnegie is kicking off 2020 with a story of dreamers, betrayal, reconciliation, and a beautiful, colorful coat. JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT runs on the Otto M. Budig stage weekends January 11 – 26, 2020.

One of the most enduring shows of all time, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers, and the coat of many colors.

“This show is a classic for a reason – the music and story are beloved, and can bring families together across generations,” said Carnegie Theatre Director Maggie Perrino. “We’re thrilled that our production is bringing some of our Carnegie family back to the stage, including Tia Seay (Queen of Soul: The Music of Aretha Franklin; DREAMGIRLS) as the Narrator, Frankie Chuter (AMERICAN IDIOT) as Joseph, Kyle Taylor (THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME) as Reuben, Maddie Vaughn (AMERICAN IDIOT), as Judah, and Sean P. Mette (THE WIZARD OF OZ, THE MUSIC MAN; RALD DAHL’S WILLY WONKA) as Jacob.”

Playing Weekends November 2 – 17, 2019

(COVINGTON, KY) – On Saturday, November 2, The Carnegie will open PROOF, the second show in its 2019-20 season. The poignant play explores one of the most dominant topics in today’s society – mental health.

Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play PROOF follows Catherine, a troubled young woman who has spent years caring for her brilliant, but unstable, father, a math professor at The University of Chicago. Following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s, who hopes to find valuable work in the notebooks he left behind. Catherine is left to grapple with the fact that she may have inherited her father’s tendency toward mental illness as well as his genius.

“The best art reflects reality and starts conversations, and that’s what we want to do with PROOF,” said Maggie Perrino, Theatre Director at The Carnegie. “Mental health is an important topic that is on the minds of many in Northern Kentucky. We want audiences to come and enjoy a thoughtful, award-winning show, and then talk about it with their friends and family.”

Performances of PROOF run weekends November 2 – 19, Fridays and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $28, $25 for Carnegie Members and ArtsPass Members, $21 for students. Tickets can be purchased through The Carnegie Box Office, open Tuesday-Friday 12 p.m. – 5 p.m., in person or by phone at (859) 957-1940, or online at www.thecarnegie.com.
