THEATRE: Ragtime
February 28, 2007
MMC Theatre Production Workshop presents Ragtime. By the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, this epic musical paints a nostalgic and powerful portrait of life in turn of the century America. Based on E.L. Doctorow’s distinguished novel, Ragtime intertwines three distinct stories that illustrate history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, love and hate. With a book by Terrence McNally, it was the 1998 Tony Award winning show for best score, book, and orchestrations.
This production is performed by students in the Theatre Arts programs at MMC with direction by Patricia Hoag Simon, music direction by Bryan Wade, choreography by Edmond Kresley, scenic design by Robert Dutiel, costume design by Kirche Leigh Zeile, and lighting design by Chris Coyle.
Performances: February 28–March 3 at 8 pm, March 4 at 2 pm
Tickets: General admission: $10; senior citizens, MMC alumni and non-MMC students with valid ID: $5; TDF vouchers accepted. Admission is free for MMC students, faculty, and staff with valid MMC ID card.
An opening night reception will follow the performance on Wednesday, February 28.
