Ragtime

Book by TERRENCE MCNALLY
Lyrics by LYNN AHRENS
Music by STEPHEN FLAHERTY
Based on the novel Ragtime by E.L. DOCTOROW
Directed by JOE CALARCO

At the dawn of the 20th century, when everything is changing…and anything is possible, Ragtime weaves together three distinctly American tales —a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring Harlem musician—united by their courage and their belief in obtaining the American Dream. Winner of Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Musical Score, this dazzling musical is a timeless celebration of the American Spirit.

Run Time: Approx. 2.5 hours with an intermission.
