The Opera House Players Present RAGTIME May 6-22

The Opera House Players will present the musical RAGTIME from May 6 - 22, 2011 at the Broad Brook Opera House, 107 Main Street, Broad Brook, CT. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. Tickets can be purchased online at www.operahouseplayers.org or by calling the box office at 860-292-6068. The production is directed by area performer and director Sharon FitzHenry, with music direction by Bill Martin.

RAGTIME weaves together three distinctly American tales: that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician, all united by their courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future. Their personal journeys come alive as historical figures offer guidance and diversion - including Harry Houdini, Henry Ford, Booker T. Washington, and the infamous Evelyn Nesbit. Together their stories celebrate the struggle between tradition and independence - all in the pursuit of the American Dream.
