Singing Opportunities in "Ragtime" Production
Seeking performers for the "Ragtime" show. Please find the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime is a compelling epic capturing the American experience at the turn of the 20th century. Tracking three diverse families in pursuit of the American dream in turn-of-the-century New York, the musical confronts the contradictions inherent in American reality — wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair. The worlds of a wealthy white couple, a Jewish immigrant father and his motherless daughter, and an African American ragtime musician intertwine as they discover the surprising interconnections of the human heart, the limitations of justice, and the unsettling consequences when dreams are permanently deferred.
