Clintonians perform in RAGTIME

Special to The Clinton Courier    

Several Clintonians and Mississippi Christian University representatives recently participated in the recent New Stage Theatre production, RAGTIME. Due to popular demand, the show was extended for an extra week of runtime.

The show is set in the dawn of the 20th century, a time when New York City was alive with change, innovation and the vibrant rhythms of ragtime. The Tony Award-winning musical brings to life the intertwining stories of three families—a white, upper-middle-class family in New Rochelle, an African-American musician and his girlfriend in Harlem, and a Jewish immigrant and his daughter on the Lower East Side. Their journeys are shaped by the towering figures of the era, including the daring Harry Houdini, the visionary Booker T. Washington, the powerful J.P. Morgan, and the industrial titan Henry Ford.
