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. Doctorow’s novel that follows three fictional families in pursuit of the American Dream at the dawn of the 20th Century: Black pianist Coalhouse Walker, Jr. and his beloved Sarah, Jewish immigrant Tateh and his little girl and a wealthy white family led by matriarch Mother. 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.
Make your reservations now for this production that promises to move, inspire and stay with you long after the final bow.

Blueprint is a complimentary program offered by the WT Enterprise Center in partnership with America’s SBDC at WTAMU. Blueprint utilizes a visual chart to provide the framework for an entrepreneur to understand how to create, evaluate, and refine their business model while focusing on their value proposition.

The program will be led by both WT Enterprise Center coaches and America’s SBDC at WTAMU consultants. This blend of coaches and consultants provides both the technical components in business creation while also focusing on the entrepreneur journey being embarked upon.
