A curtain can close, but some moments never truly leave you. This experience was so much more than a show. It was the late nights, the laughter, the challenges, the growth, and the incredible people who made every second worth it. I came into this journey ready to tell a story, but I walked away with memories, friendships, and a family that I’ll carry with me forever. I cannot say enough how thankful I am for Near West Theatre, our director, the creative team, crew, musicians, and every person behind the scenes who worked tirelessly to bring this story to life. The passion, dedication, and love poured into this production created one of the best shows I have ever been a part of. To everyone who shared this stage and this journey with me, thank you for reminding me why I love performing and why stories like this matter. And now I find myself asking, “What if I got one more chance to grace the stage with all of you?” Because I would take that chance in a heartbeat. The wheels may have stopped turning, but the memories, the voices, and the stories we shared will continue to echo long after the final note. ❤️

He wanted to say: I am so honored and fortunate that I have had the pleasure of working with Near West Theatre on a truly special and transformative production of Ragtime.

He wanted to say: Getting to do so much theatre this summer has gotten me out of the worst place I have ever been at the beginning of the summer to the happiest I have ever been at the end.

He wanted to say: Due to the fulfillment I have gotten from both everyone involved in this production as well as the impeccable work we all have done at impacting every audience that has had the privilege of witnessing this story that we have put so much into having the privilege of telling, I genuinely feel ready for anything.

He wanted to say: Younger Brother is my favorite character I have played in my favorite show that I have been a part of to date. This was the perfect show to end the summer off with and I can’t wait to continue my theatre journey so content that this is the show I did at this point in my life.

He wanted to say: Much like America, this show both in script and in the talented young performers that have donated their time and effort to ragtime, is a melting pot full of so many backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. The American dream is all of those aspects coexisting peacefully and until that happens: Ragtime will always be relevant.

But all he said was: I know how to blow things up ☺️ (NOT REALLY PLEASE DON’T BAN ME INSTAGRAM)

"We'll never get to heaven, til we reach that day"❤️

I'm not even sure where to start with this caption so here go. Ragtime has truly been one of the most artistically fulfilling, yet challenging shows I've been in. A show like Ragtime challenges it's performers and it's audience to see outside their privilege and perspective, and understand the struggles of others, and asks them to stand in solidarity with those who's voices aren't heard. I hope Ragtime and other artworks like it encourage people to see the different perspectives of the people around them, and speak out against injustices in our world. Maybe then America and the world as a whole will be a better place. Even though portraying the story of Ragtime is difficult to perform, the show has still been one of the most best theatre experiences of my life. This cast truly feels like a second family and I truly adore every single person involved. Thank you to the entire cast of Ragtime for creating an amazing community and just overall for being wonderful amazing people to be around. I specifically want to shout out the Harlem ensemble, you all are amazing, strong people and you guys truly fit the definition of Black Excellence. Thank you Ragtime and Near West for being so good to me✊🏾🗽❤️

(Sorry I couldn't tag everyone its a lot of people😭)
