CPCC Theatre to Stage Tony-Winning Musical RAGTIME

Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) Theatre is excited to perform the Tony Award-winning-musical "Ragtime" on the Halton Theater stage, Feb. 10 - 19. Watch as the CPCC Theatre troupe presents a sweeping portrait of early 20th century America, telling the story of three characters in pursuit of the American Dream.

It's the dawn of a new century, everything is changing, and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, "Ragtime" follows three distinct Americans - a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician - weaving their lives together to show audience members how these three individuals are united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future.
