Prepare to be taken to a historic time as the Amarillo Little Theatre presents the epic musical RAGTIME at the Allen Shankles Mainstage running November 6th-16th. This Tony Award winning masterpiece is a show that ALT has wanted to produce for several years. It is finally the right time to do RAGTIME.
RAGTIME is a sweeping musical adaptation of E.L.

All grasping for the same dream, if only they can hold on to it.
Featuring a lush score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a stirring book by Terrence McNally and original orchestrations by William David Brohn, all of whom won Tony Awards for their work, RAGTIME weaves fictional narratives with real historical figures and events, creating a rich tapestry that blurs the line between personal struggle and national identity, making history feel both intimate and epic.
