Booker T. Washington/Harlem people/Haitian immigrant
- In one word, what does Ragtime mean to you?
Revolutionary
- Which character do you most identify with? Why?
Coalhouse, because he is doing whatever it is necessary to fight for what's right in a unjust society where people aren't willing to listen unless you're a white man.
- Why is Ragtime relevant today?
Ragtime is relevant today because we still have racism, which is plain disgusting... Nobody has the right to judge another human being just because of the color of their skin or their gender... everybody has the right to their dreams.
- What do you want the audience to take away from the musical?
I want them to walk out feeling moved and humming to some of the songs! I would also like to give everyone a reminder of what "the struggle" was like back then.
