Joseph and
his amazing
sartorial
splendor hit
Delaware’s
Dupont
Theatre.
NE W YORK
Live in Technicolor:
Andrew Lloyd Webber
and Tim Rice’s Joseph and
the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat comes to the
DuPont Theatre April 17-22
in Wilmington. Beginning
its life in 1967 as a 20-minute
“pop cantata” for a school
Easter concert, Joseph was
revived and expanded in
the mid-’70s and eventually
made its way to Broadway in
1982. The latest incarnation
is a rainbow ride through
biblical Egypt on the wings
of Webber’s uplifting music
and the humor and poetry of
lyricist Rice. This irresistible
musical about the trials and
triumphs of Joseph, Israel’s
favorite son, paints a picture
of betrayal and hardship,
prophecy and forgiveness.

Small Businesses
Small and midsize businesses can now earn free rail travel

Points are earned for travel on Acela Express, Regional, Keystone and Empire services as well as the Downeaster. All travel
must be booked online at Amtrak.com or using a Quik-Trak
self-ticketing machine. Individual employees continue to earn
credit on their personal Amtrak Guest Rewards accounts at the
same time that their employer earns credit for the employee
travel. The employees do not forfeit any of the points earned
when linked to the company’s Amtrak Guest Rewards for Business account. Amtrak Guest Rewards for Business accounts are
managed solely online. Enrolling is as simple as logging on to
Amtrakguestrewards.com/forBusiness.

For the love of quilts:
“Quilts in a Material World:
Selections from the
Winterthur Collection”
showcases the relevance
of quilts in the lives of their
makers—past and present.
Ranging from the 17th
to the 19th centuries, the
exhibition is drawn from
Winterthur’s collection
of nearly 300 quilts. “An
extraordinary whitework
quilt—a unique example of a
quilted family coat of arms—
made by Mary Remington
of Warwick, R.I., in 1815 is
the heart of the show,” says
Linda Eaton, curator of the
exhibition and of textiles at
Winterthur. An exhibition of
40 quilts from the Winterthur
collection, stunning examples
of exceptional artistry never
before exhibited, will be on
display from March 10–Sept.
