Set at the dawn of the 20th century, Ragtime paints a sweeping portrait of a nation in transition. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing New York City, the musical follows the interconnected lives of three families: a white upper-middle-class family from New Rochelle, an African American musician and his girlfriend in Harlem, and a Jewish immigrant and his daughter on the Lower East Side.

As their stories unfold, audiences encounter some of the era’s most influential figures, including Harry Houdini , Booker T. Washington, J. P. Morgan, and Henry Ford. Through their intersecting journeys, the musical explores themes of race, class, identity, opportunity, and the pursuit of the American Dream.

Ragtime remains one of the most celebrated American musicals of the modern era. Its powerful score and deeply human story continue to resonate with audiences, offering a moving reflection on the challenges and possibilities that define the American experience.

The production is recommended for ages 12 and older. Tickets are now available for the newly added performances through June 14.
