Alex Carr, a current student at Montclair State University, is making his MHT debut as the leading role of Joseph. A blast from MHT's past in Ryan Owens returns to play Jacob, Pharoah and Potiphar. Ryan was a company member in 2009.

Bryan Knowlton (Choreographer My Fair Lady in 2016) returns as the director and choreographer. Bryan was the recipient of the 2016 New Hampshire Theatre Award for "Best Choreographer" for Lake Winnipesaukee Playhouse's production of Cabaret.
