VIDEO: 122 Performers Come Together For Virtual RAGTIME Medley

NYC-based actor and A.M.D.A. alumni, Conor Stepnowski, assembled and directed over 120 actors and musicians to perform in a completely virtual medley of five songs from the Tony award winning musical Ragtime.

This comes in light of the recent events unfolding in our nation surrounding the pandemic and the presidential election, as well as the outcry for equality for all Americans and growing support for the Black Lives Matter movement,

With music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, orchestrations by William David Brohn, sound engineering/mixing by Neil McLinden, and the arrangement by director, Stepnowski, and music director, Brian Sweeney, this cast breathes new life into this epic Broadway masterpiece.
