Ragtime returns to theatre Oct. 16, 17
Bob Milne, universally recognized as the world’s greatest Ragtime and boogie woogie pianist, returns to Century Church Theatre in Hillsburgh for the seventh year, Oct. 16 and 17.
Along with his music, Bob shares stories of the great musicians who penned the music, and regales audiences with hilarious tales of his own adventures on the road as a journeyman piano-player.
Milne is regarded as an “American treasure.”
A PBS film crew followed him for a year to make a real-life documentary of his incredible concerts.
The Library of Congress is collecting memorabilia and making a film of a day in his life as part of the American Music Project, to be stored for posterity, along with such other American icons as the Declaration of Independence. Milne has been made an honorary citizen of Japan.
People come back time and time again. There will be two matinees, on Friday and Saturday at 2:30pm, with a one-hour concert, followed by a gourmet afternoon tea with Bob, catered by The Pantry Shelf, Hillsburgh.
Saturday evening will feature a two-hour concert at 8pm.
Tickets are $29 for either event, and may be reserved by calling the box office at 519- 855-4586, or visit www.centurychurchtheatre.com.
