Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton,
Disney’s Beauty and
the Beast is a mesmerizing experience that embodies the magic of the

RAGTIME
April 16 – 28, 2019
Based on E.L. Doctorow’s powerful book about immigrants and the fight for the
American soul in the early twentieth century,
Ragtime is a magnificent and
deeply moving musical. Featuring a Tony Award® winning score and book,
Ragtime
is set at a time when worlds and cultures are colliding on issues of race,
class, gender equality, and politics.
The plot of
Ragtime
shows the intersection of three groups of people in the United States -
African-Americans, upper-class suburbanites, and Eastern European immigrants,
and the struggles each face as their worlds collide during this time.
This ensemble musical takes a look at the past and, in it, we see our present,
and the opportunities for our future.
