Press: 1980 Joseph

Here's the article from the Tuggerah Lakes Advocate published in advance of the opening of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.  Notice how (minor) errors of fact, which still plague the paper today, were evident in this article.  For instance they reported fact that the band Traction is "made-up of students from the school".  In reality only one member of Traction came from GHS, and that was the bass-player Chris Coble (vale), the others came from The Entrance High.

It's also unclear exactly which special prologue to the "play" (sic.) Mr Hibbard "wrote".  The paper refers to Joseph as "the father of Israel", whereas in my bible he actually IS called Israel (although I suppose you could make a case for this based on the definition of "father").  The paper also says "if you want to know how the story ends, you'll have to go and see the 'play'", where of course referring to numerous copies of the Bible that would be available is also another method.  Oh, and they spell "Potiphor" incorrectly, but we can perhaps forgive them for THAT!
