"Ragtime, School Edition" is the fall musical for 2014. Auditions were held the first week of school, and students are busy rehearsing for this musical which is almost entirely sung through. Three choruses are utilized, representing the upper class New Rochelle, N.Y. residents, the eastern European immigrants and the people of Harlem. Canfield is very pleased to be working side by side with the Chaney Visual and Performing Arts School in Youngstown on the production. This is the first time the high school students have collaborated with another school on a production. Each school will begin with independent rehearsals, and they will then combine once independent numbers have been staged. There are also two guest artists (former Y.S.U. students) who will play two of the roles.
This show is extremely challenging, with more music than any show ever performed at C.H.S.
Performance dates are Nov. 13th at 6:00 at Chaney High School, and Nov. 15th, 21st and 22nd at 7:30 at Canfield High School.
