Day 237: It's Ragtime!

Tonight Erica, Jamie, Victoria, Kate and I went to go see the Austin Playhouse perform their annual musical, Ragtime! It was about racial tensions in the early 1900s, represented by the Harlem African-Americans, the W.A.S.P.s, and the Eastern European Immigrants. Seeing the way that all the groups interacted, I am so amazed and thankful that America has developed to become a diverse country accepting of all races. The main roles were played by Blake McCardell (Coalhouse Walker), Laura Norby (mother), and Justin Green (Tateh). All three of these seniors did so well, they were all truly amazing actors, dancers, and singers. If they try and go somewhere in theatre arts, it wouldn't surprise me if they got all the way to Broadway! The Austin Playhouse blows me away everytime they perform. Although many people don't know how to appreciate the arts, I can proudly say that I love every single show these guys put on. These guys are amazing, and they definitely deserved their standing ovation!
