Magic Circle Theatre Presents -"Ragtime"

Roseville, CA August 22, 2008. Magic Circle Theatre opens their 21st Season with the magnificent musical Ragtime The Musical in their Roseville Theatre location on Sept. 5, 2008.

They arrived looking for a better life and found fortunes beyond their wildest dreams. Or found poverty and discrimination deeper than what they tried to escape. Or they simply continued the day-to-day struggle that is life, career and family. The United States is a country of immigrants, and Ragtime The Musical weaves historical characters and references and fantastic music with the stories of three groups: represented by Coalhouse Walker Jr., a Harlem musician; Mother, head of a protestant family in New Rochelle, and Tateh, a Latvian Jewish immigrant. This is one of the biggest efforts ever taken on by Magic Circle Theatre.

We have a couple of celebrities in our cast! Coalhouse Walker Jr. is played by Stephen Nichols, who was on MTV’s The Real World (and continues to work as a field reporter for MTV). Also, Coalhouse’s girlfriend, Sarah, is played by Jessica McCall, a former Miss Black Sacramento (and she is even more talented than she is beautiful).

Ragtime The Musical will play Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 and Sunday afternoons at 2:00
Sept. 5 - Oct. 4, 2008, in the Roseville Theatre
241 Vernon St., Roseville.
