RAGTOWN!
A Musical Drama
Now in its 16th season, Ragtown Gospel Theater is excited to be bringing Ragtown! A Musical Drama back to the Ragtown Gospel Theater stage, with 8 performances in July and August.
Ragtown is a fun-filled musical based on the 1907 founding of Post City, Texas, by the eccentric millionaire cereal inventor, C.W. Post. But underlying the rollicking story is a message that couldn’t be more timely.
Taking place just forty years after the end of the Civil War, Ragtown is a story of forgiveness and healing the wounds of division between brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless of skin color, or on which side of the war they may have been. It is a thoroughly American story of new beginnings, unending possibility, and a joyful celebration of the fearlessness and independent spirit of the last vestige of authentic American pioneers.
Glenn Polk directs, and portrays the enigmatic Rainmaker. with Deborah Hobbs as Sister Pearl Talley, and Ron Meadows in the role of C.W. Post. The play and music are by Chip Polk, with orchestral arrangements by Andy Patterson. Choreography is by Kristen Williams.
Conveying the Gospel of Jesus Christ through music and drama has been the mission of Ragtown Gospel Theater from the beginning. We are grateful to be able to continue this ministry in the midst of these turbulent times, when people so need encouragement and a positive message of hope.
Performances will be Saturdays at 3:00, July 9th through August 27th.
All seats are reserved. Adult tickets are $22, discounted to $16.50 purchased in groups of 12 or more. Student tickets K through college are $10. Veterans and active military are welcome to attend as our guests.
