Ragtime is a deeply moving musical 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 vivid portrait of America in the early 20th century, when worlds and cultures collided on issues of race, class, gender equality, and politics. This deeply moving musical features a Tony award-winning score, book, and original Broadway orchestrations.

CHRONICLE X: A Revival is a concert-installation that applies ancient wisdom to contemporary strife through the power of sound and music. Merging the Yoruba sacred creation story of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding with the transcripts of Diamond Reynolds' Facebook Live video after Philando Castile was shot by police, and set to a multi-genre African-diaspora soundscape ranging from gospel to vogue, CHRONICLE X takes as its inspiration the revivals of the turn of the century, intended to bring humans closer to the divine. But instead of being tied to one church or tradition, this deconstructed revival is a shedding of white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy on the road to awaken the sacred: the sacred of the body, the sacred that is known and remembered, even in the face of that which is not understood. At CHRONICLE X, worship at black queer feminist church. Decolonize the sacred. Revive.
