“Ragtime has always held a special place for me - its messages of hope in the face of struggle are as relevant now as ever.  We are honored to share it with a new audience, while saluting our beloved 2013 production.  Revisiting this thrilling music is a particular joy, and working with this powerhouse cast is an uplifting experience.” - Rene O'Neal, producer

 

Set at the turn of the century New York, Ragtime is the award-winning musical that intertwines three distinctive American stories - a Harlem pianist, a Jewish immigrant, and a stifled upper-class wife - each united by courage, compassion, and the desire for a better future.  Weaving in real life historical figures, this epic masterpiece highlights the fight for justice, racial equality, the persistence of dreams, and the endless power of the heart. 

 

 A Clocktower Players production, with direction by Debra Lee Failla and music direction by George Croom.  Book by Terrence McNally, music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Aherns; produced with permission from Music Theater International (MTI).
