the area’s most experienced musicians to thrill the audience with the full sound of this award winning musical.
RAGTIME, the award winning musical drama by Terrence McNally with
music by Stephen Flaherty & lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, is being presented in the newly renovated Hudson High School auditorium. You don’t want to miss this gripping tale of the American experience. Romance, patriotism, the fight for the dignity of every citizen, the hope of new immigrants are all told
through the dramatic script and soaring music of RAGTIME!
The intriguing
story line of RAGTIME is a dramatic tale on the coming of age of 1900’s America
told through three parallel story lines: Father, Mother and the People of New Rochelle who are proud of their country; Coalhouse
Walker Jr. and the People of Harlem, pushing to claim their place in society and the simple dignity of equality; and, the
Eastern European Immigrants, Tateh, his little daughter, and the hopeful immigrants flooding through Ellis Island to a better
life. Celebrities of the time help to tell the tale, Henry Ford, Evelyn Nesbit,
Harry Houdini, Emma Goldman, Stanford White, all play a role in the telling of this touching story. .
