Ragtime opens up PCS’s Season
Portland Center Stage is opening the 2009-2010 season with Terrance McNally’s RAGTIME on September 22, 2009.
An excerpt from their website:
“E.L. Doctorow’s sweeping novel comes vividly to life in this Tony Award-winning musical, set against the backdrop of the ragtime craze in New York City. In it, three disparate families intertwine: a wealthy white couple; a Jewish immigrant father and his motherless daughter; and an African American ragtime musician who teaches them all about the surprising interconnections of the human heart, the limitations of justice and the unsettling consequences of dreams permanently deferred. Historical figures like Harry Houdini, J.P. Morgan and Emma Goldman also inhabit this stirring epic, but it is American popular music that carries the story, including marches, cakewalks and — of course — ragtime.”
I’m looking forward to taking my stage management students to this amazing show directed by Chris Coleman. What will we expect from this amazing theater company in the Northwest? Checkout their 2009-2010 season on their website.
