Stritch to present “Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”
        After a year hiatus due to COVID-19, Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School and Academy is bringing back live theatre with the musical, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”
        The story follows Joseph – the favorite son out of 12 brothers – who can see the future through dreams. When Joseph’s father gives him a brand-new colorful coat, his brothers have had enough and sell Joseph as a slave to Egypt. While in Egypt, Joseph meets the Pharaoh, the king of all kings, and learns of the strange dreams the Pharaoh has been having. Using his knowledge of dreams, Joseph might just save himself and all of Egypt.
        The musical features more than 50 students from across the Toledo area participating by singing, acting, dancing, painting and behind-the-scenes work.
        The show is also partnering with Susie’s Coats for Kids to collect gently used children’s coats, hats and gloves.
        “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” will be presented at Owens Community College Center of Performing and Fine Arts March 4 and 5 at 7 p.m. and March 6 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at showtix4u.com/event-details/60593.

Legislative Fellowship Program
        State Senator Theresa Gavarone (R-Huron) announced that the Ohio Legislative Service Commission is accepting applications through April 1, 2022 for the 2023 Legislative and Telecommunications Fellowship Program. The Commission will hire 24 fellows to serve in the Ohio General Assembly for the 2023 calendar year.
        “Recent graduates with an interest in state government or public policy should consider the LSC Fellowship to develop important career skills far beyond the average fellowship experience,” Gavarone said. “Fellows have the opportunity to take on diverse responsibilities while connecting directly with state policymakers and stakeholders, often leading to successful careers in public service.”
        Legislative fellows are immersed in the Ohio legislative process by assisting members of the Ohio General Assembly with constituent work, writing press releases, performing legislative research, attending meetings and performing various administrative duties. Telecommunications fellows assist in televising House and Senate proceedings and in preparing educational video productions about the General Assembly and the legislative process.
        Fellows receive full state of Ohio employee benefits and are paid $35,000 per year, with the opportunity to earn up to a $2,000 bonus based on length of service in the program.
        The legislative fellowship program is open to graduates of all major fields of study who have a genuine interest in learning about state government, and no political experience is required. The telecommunications fellow candidates must have majored or minored in a telecommunications-related field of study or have comparable experience. To be eligible, applicants must have graduated from a four-year college degree program by the December 2022 start date. Persons holding graduate or professional degrees may also apply.
        Legislative fellowship application materials must be postmarked by April 1 to be considered for the program.
        For more information and application instructions, visit lsc.ohio.gov/fellowship or call 614-466-3615.
