It's the thrill of a lifetime for 14-year-old Mariana Herrera Jury who is currently lighting up the stage in "Ragtime: The Musical," directed and choreographed by Luis Salgado, now playing at Axelrod Performing Arts Center.

It's hard to imagine a better location for a production of RAGTIME than Deal, New Jersey. The predominantly Jewish community is adjacent to the largely African American population of Asbury Park (a city known for 'New Music') and connected by the millionaire mansions of Ocean Avenue: RAGTIME in microcosm.

It is very difficult for anyone intimately familiar with either the 1975 novel RAGTIME, or its brilliant 1996 musical adaptation of the same name, to believe that the story is 43 and 22 years old, respectively, when watching Axelrod Performing Arts Center's most recent, impactful production. The reason for this sense of disbelief isn't due to the story's familiar themes of uneasy attitudes toward immigration and immigrants, social and economic inequality, or racial tensions but, sadly, that these themes are so painfully timely for today's audiences. The proverbial 'theatrical mirror' is in no way hidden from view as RAGTIME's award-winning and socially aware director/choreographer, Luis Salgado (whom BroadwayWorld.com has called 'one of the young Latinos on Broadway who has dedicated his entire life to both dance and social work'), has brilliantly meshed our chaotic current climate with the palpable past...and effortlessly.

"At the turn of the century, worlds will collide in America!" The Axelrod Performing Arts Center begins its inaugural season as a professional theater with Luis Salgado's beautiful new staging of Ragtime the Musical. See the video of the Axelrod company in final rehearsals below!
