Dallas Summer Musicals is delighted to present the all-new touring production of RAGTIME at the Music Hall at Fair Park May 24 - June 5, 2016. A timeless celebration of life, RAGTIME tells the stories of an upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician - set in turn-of-the-century New York - all three united by their desire and belief in a brighter tomorrow. Their compelling stories are told to theatre's richest and most glorious Tony Award®-winning score of heavily syncopated or "ragged" rhythms, a defining characteristic of the Progressive Era.

Dallas Summer Musicals in conjunction with Phoenix Entertainment, BroadwayWorld and WFAA Chanel 8 are in search for (a) young male actor(s) to portray the role of "Young Coalhouse" in the National Tour of RAGTIME for its run in Dallas. This will be the first walk-on-role of a summer series initiative to elevate the arts. Please help us spread the word out as we give young aspiring actors the chance of a lifetime. Full details can be found below:
