RAGTIME: the Epic Tony-winning Musical
About The Event
Based on E.L. Doctorowâs celebrated novel, this epic Tony-winning musical depicts three families striving for the American dream at the turn of the 20th century. As the country balances on the cusp of social change, the lives of a wealthy white family, a daring Harlem musician and a determined Jewish immigrant intersectâand their fates are inextricably bound and profoundly changed. With an expansive musical score, striking relevancy and a whoâs who of 20th-century historical characters, âRagtimeâ confronts both the unbridled optimism and the stark reality of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Peter Flynn (â1776,â âThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Beeâ) directs an all-star D.C. cast including Kevin McAllister, Tracy Lynn Olivera, Nova Y. Payton and Jonathan Atkinson.
Length: ~2 hours and 45 minutes with one intermission. Recommended for ages 12 and older.
