Hailed as “the best musical in twenty years” when it debuted a decade ago, Ragtime is a worthy challenge for the staff and students in our Music Theatre Workshop. A powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the century America, the musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families – one WASP, one black, and one Jewish immigrant – as they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, and what it means to live in America. The Tony® award-winning score includes Gettin’ Ready Rag, Wheels of A Dream, Back to Before, and Make Them Hear You. Don’t miss this sumptuous production of a masterpiece of American Musical Theatre!
