Ragtime and Its Performers
Seven performers from the Washington-Baltimore area who were east in the Kennedy Center’s April revival of "Ragtime" remained with the show when it was remounted on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre in the fall. And though its producers have announced that the show will close Sunday due to poor ticket gales, the actors said "Ragtime" had given them much more than their Broadway debuts.
"It reaffirmed my faith in myself as an actor. "Donna Migliaccio told "Backstage" via e-mail after news of the closing became official. A veteran of numerous shows at the Kennedy Center and Signature Theatre in Arlington. Migliaccio plays early-20th-century radical Emma Goldman in "Ragtime" and is also an ensemble member. She continued. "It showed me that I’m not too old a dog to learn some new tricks. . . that commercial theatre isn’t always all about the money— sometimes it’s about people who believe passionately -enough in a project to lose money on it."
Ali.a trained opera singer, has decided to relocate to New York. A product of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, Spelman College and the New England,she says doing "Ragtime" has been "like I’m living a fairy tale. "She credits the good feelings backstage— which all seven actors describe—to a "special spirit" that flows from director-choreographer Marcia Milgrom Dodge.
Tracy Lynn 0livera said she was never "actively trying to he on Broadway," having made up her mind in her late 20s to "live and make my career in Washington." But, she added, "You can’t pass up an opportunity like this." She and Migliaccio have known each other for years, having worked together often. But the "Ragtime" experience has been special. "I remember looking at Donna on the first night and being totally overwhelmed. We both started crying."
Three child actors in "Ragtime" are from the Washington-Baltimore region. They’ve been living in rented digs(出租房) with at least one parent, and continued their schooling online or at New York’s Professional Performing Arts School for kids in theater. They’re supervised backstage by a "kid wrangler" to assure they don’t miss cues or costume changes.
"It’s been a huge experience for me," said Christopher Cox, a 12-year-old from Columbia, who plays The Little Boy and gets to narrate part of the story. Christopher wants to be " either a movie actor or a movie director" and he adores his " Ragtime" cohorts: "it’s like one big huge happy family. I don’t want to say goodbye for a very long time." But he’ll have to a downside of theater life.
Sarah Rosenthal, from Pikesville near Baltimore, plays The Little Girl, who comes to America from Latvia with her immigrant father, Tateh. "Kennedy Center was actually my first professional production of anything ever, and when I got it, I didn’t even know about Broadway" as a possibility, said Rosenthal. She added, "Now that I’ve clone it, the happiest I’ve been is when I’m on stage. . . It sounds kind of cheesy, but I love it a lot." [br] What can NOT be inferred from Paragraph 1 ?
