Get a first look at STAGES St. Louis' production of RAGTIME, now on stage through October 20 at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center.

STAGES St. Louis production of RAGTIME is exquisite and an important piece of Americana. The symphonic quality of the Ahrens and Flaherty score has many beautiful sections, and the relevance of the story is timeless. The slowly unfolding narrative is told nicely through Goodwin’s focused direction, the competent performances of the accomplished cast, the gifted musical direction and accompaniment, and the polished work of the technical theater professionals. RAGTIME does not reach the grand heights of the other epic musicals that have become a global phenomenon. But, it is certainly monumental in its storytelling and deserves to be seen, especially this beautifully staged production at STAGES St. Louis.

PRIMARY STAGES has revealed programming for 2024-25 Season, celebrating its 40th anniversary. The season will kick off in November 2024 with The Light and the Dark (the life and times of Artemisia Gentileschi), by Kate Hamill. Learn more!

Ragtime tells the story of three families united by courage, compassion, and a belief in not only the American dream but the promise of tomorrow.
