Largest Cast In Mac-Haydn History Takes The Stage For RAGTIME

The Mac-Haydn Theatre presents the Flaherty and Ahrens masterpiece Ragtime, running July 25 through August 4.

E.L. Doctorow's novel comes to life in what many say is one of the greatest musicals ever written. The show follows three families as they pursue their dreams in the early 20th century melting pot of New York City. Their stories weave together through courage, compassion, and hope for a brighter future in America. This Tony Award-winning score includes "Back to Before," "The Wheels of a Dream," and "Your Daddy's Son". Ragtime is not to be missed!

Starring as Mother, Rachel Rhodes-Devey returns to the Mac-Haydn after her performance as Irene Molloy in Hello, Dolly! in 2017. Rachel made her Mac-Haydn debut at the age of 8, and since has performed in major New York City productions, national tours, and regional theatres across the country. She hopes the topics of this show stay in the hearts and conversations of audiences beyond the theatre doors.

Tyrell Reggins makes his Mac-Haydn debut in the role of Coalhouse Walker, Jr. Tyrell is a passionate teaching artist originally from Columbus, Ohio. He recently graduated from Wright State University with a B.A in theater studies, and now resides in New York City. Professional credits include: Dreamgirls, Hair, Hairspray, Fences, Sister Act, Footloose, and "Remember when the 70's" Show at King's Island.

Mac-Haydn veteran Gabe Belyeu steps into the role of Tateh, following his featured role as King Arthur in Camelot earlier this season. Last year, Gabe was featured in Damn Yankees, Mamma Mia!, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Annie. Past favorites include Javert in Les Miserables, Sir Galahad in Spamalot, and Gomez in The Addams Family.
