My Schools Wheels of a Dream

Here is Wheels of a Dream, from my schools production of Ragtime. The show is in a Week. I know there white, and I know many of you will hate it because of it. But what are ya gonna do.. This isn't my fave Coalhouse. I like the other cast better, he has a much stronger voice and it has more of a deeper sound, but I still think zack does a great job. And yes that is a real Motel T. They fixed it up and it cost lost of money. But It looks really amazing, I remember when they first got the car it was all run down and rusty.

Here it is.

I think it is actually really good! I don't mind that Sarah & Coalhouse are white but...just out of curiosity, what did you change the words to in the Prologue? i.e. "There were no Negroes and there were no immigrants."

^ ummm we didn't change the words at all...

Oh ok then, so you just sang about the black people that they wish weren't there even though there were no black people on stage?

Yea, even thought we are not black.... we are still acting as if we are.

well, not trying to be rude but,
you should have chosen a show you could have cast. I take a directing elective at school and that is one thing that was stressed. If you don't have people to cast the roles, don't do the show. For example unless you have a 6 foot tall Indian, you can't do One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. With out enough black people, you shouldn't do Ragtime, because you can't do the story Justice (pun)
