At 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, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Nominated for 13 Tony Awards including Best Musical, complete with a live 9-piece orchestra and over 30 professional actors onstage, Ragtime is a beautiful and ever-relevant piece that confronts history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.
CONTENT ADVISORY: This production includes strong language, including profanity as well as the use of racial slurs (the "N-word," and other epithets); depictions and descriptions of violence and death, including depictions of violence against immigrants and African Americans; and one suggestive musical number (not explicit). The uses of these themes is in service to the storytelling of the piece and its historical accuracy. We highly encourage anyone bringing youth to the production to have a conversation about the content ahead of time and encourage them to reach out to CCT for additional resources to start a dialogue surrounding the challenging themes portrayed.
NOTES: Saturday, September 30 @ 2p will offer both sign interpretation and audio description. Besting seating for ASL is available; see house staff on the day of show for audio description devices. The September 29 @ 10a is being sold directly through CCT and inquiries should be directed to info@columbuschildrenstheatre.org.
Run Time: 2.5 hours including intermission
Critics use the word “well” often when describing the arts. Something is “well-written,” “well performed,” “well-acted,” “well thought-out.” RAGTIME, which runs Sept. 22-Oct. 1 at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long Street in downtown Columbus), is all of those things, and more.
David Glover is out to disprove the adage of “Those who can’t do, teach” when he takes on the role of Coalhouse Walker Jr. in Columbus Children’s Theatre production of RAGTIME THE MUSICAL. The Terrance McNally musical will be performed Sept. 22-Oct. 1 at the Lincoln Theatre (769 E. Long St. in downtown Columbus).
Columbus Children's Theatre presents Ragtime The Musical at the historic Lincoln Theatre. Don't miss this Tony Award-winning show that weaves together the lives of three distinct groups during the turn of the 20th century. Experience the power of Ragtime in person from September 22nd to October 1st. Get your tickets now!
