GARZA RGT brings back ‘Ragtown!’ through August
POST—In 2020 in the wake of the Covid-19 shutdown, Ragtown Gospel Theater in Post staged an abbreviated premier of their musical, “Ragtown!,” which depicts the founding of Post by cereal magnate C.W. Post.
With only 25% capacity available, and so many still fearful about public events, attendance was low, but those who came commented that they wished more could see the production.
RGT decided to bring “Ragtown!” back to the stage again this summer, with performances every Saturday throughout August. This is a family-friendly, fun show, filled with music, laughter and a powerful and deeply uplifting message.
Call 877-RAGTOWN or visit www.ragtown.com to purchase your tickets.
