June 15-July 22, 2018; Fri-Sat at 8pm, Sun at 2pm
Contra Costa Civic Theatre (CCCT) today announced the cast for its season finale, Ragtime, directed by CCCT Artistic Director Marilyn Langbehn, with music direction by Tania Johnson and choreography by Allison Paraiso. Ragtime, with a Tony award-winning book and score by Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, plays CCCT's Main Stage beginning June 15 through July 22.
The production features LaMont Ridgell as Coalhouse, Robin Murray as Sarah, Maria Mihkeyenko as Mother, and Sterling Liska as Tateh. Others in the cast include Ron Pickett as Father, Tom Flynn as Grandfather, Ben Knoll as Younger Brother, Isaiah Johnson as Little Boy, Chris Poston as Booker T. Washington, Umi Grant as Harlem Man, Pam Drummer-Williams as Sarah's Friend, Ariana Cohen as Harlem Woman, Jennifer Rodway as Emma Goldman, Annika Bergman as Evelyn Nesbit, Rob Lewis as Harry Houdini, Sophia Gilbert as Little Girl, and Clio Salzer as the Skater.
It's the turn-of-the-century and anything is possible. Based on E.L. Doctorow's landmark novel, Ragtime weaves together three American stories-a determined Jewish immigrant, a daring Harlem musician, and a stifled woman of privilege-united by their courage, compassion and belief in a better tomorrow.
Says director Marilyn Langbehn, "We're approaching this extraordinary piece as a chamber work with an ensemble of 16, stripping away the pomp to let McNally's richly drawn characters and Ahrens and Flaherty's glorious music show us what it means to find your place in the world when everything seems to be changing at once."
Single tickets for Ragtime range from $15 to $36, with discounts available for groups of 15 or more. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm. All performances take place at CCCT's intimate and fully accessible theatre in the Flynn building located at 951 Pomona Avenue (cross street Moeser) in El Cerrito. Free parking is available in the adjoining lot.
