"Ragtime" Musical Needs Teens
High school performers are welcome to audition for the "Ragtime" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair... and what it means to live in America. Additional info: The company is committed to honoring the cultural, historical, and narrative integrity of Ragtime. For this production, we are intentionally seeking to cast actors in alignment with the authors’ intent and the lived experiences reflected in the work. Rehearsals 6/1-6/23 Performances 6/24-28 If interested, please apply.
