- In one word, what does Ragtime mean to you?
Discovery
- Which character do you most identify with? Why?
I don't really identify with one character, but I identify with each character in different ways. If I had to choose, probably Emma Goldman. Why? I really have no idea, other than the fact that she is a fighter, and she wants what's right for her group of people. I just like how tough she is and how she won't take crap from anyone because her people were being treated so unfairly, and she is definitely not afraid to speak her mind and fight for what's right.
- Why should today’s audience watch Ragtime?
…it really makes you realize how lucky we are to have access to the things we do, to have supportive family and friends, and it makes you think about what other peoples' misfortunes are and how you can make a difference by understanding where they come from, what they may have had to deal with in life, and how they relate to you.
- What do you want the audience to take away from the musical?
I want the audience to take away that change is inevitable, whether it's for better or worse... it's how you deal with it that shapes your character and our society today as a whole. Remember, everyone has the same rights and no human being should ever feel stepped all over or less than anyone else. Also, don't take anything for granted because once it's taken away, you may never get it back. Oh, and of course... MUSIC. It's a way of life that unites us as people, and it's a language that everyone can speak and read fluently!
