Ragtime makes grand opening

Last night, the audience was in awe as 85 students were selected to perform one of the best musicals ever written. With the success of "Thoroughly Modern Millie" last semester, our new cast wanted to put on a play with a big explosion of music and change. A musical that filled our hearts with tear-dropping moments and unforgettable numbers. It's the music that would lead to the start of something fantastic. It is an honor for the cast of AMT to bring to the fans, "Ragtime."

Ragtime tells the story of a family in New Rochelle who are about to witness great events that would change their lives forever. A Negro pianist decides it's their time to deliver justice and rise to the top of the world. An immigrant who came to America with his little girl, who would do anything to help her. Three worlds would collide on that fateful year as New Rochelle tries to adjust, Negroes going to war, and immigrants doing anything possible to become a 'success.'

If you haven't seen Ragtime, your missing out on a 4-4 performance. The AMT class of Cypress Bay worked long and hard to deliver a smashing blockbuster. Through all the drama and conflicts, the cast were able to put it together and deliver what the fans want to see. If you come now, you'll be the first to see grand appearances of the greatest historic figures. Featuring Booker T. Washing, Harry Houdini, J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, Evelyn Nesbit, Admiral Peary, and even The President of the United States!!! This was the music of something beginning. An era exploding, a century spinning. In riches and rags, and in rhythm and rhyme. Prepare for the smashing broadway sensation, "Ragtime" at 7 pm at Cypress Bay High. AMT as we know it will never be the same.
