Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Ragtime weaves together the lives of three families—each struggling to navigate the rapidly changing world around them. This musical explores themes of race, class, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Support American Theatre: a just and thriving theatre ecology begins with information for all.
