It's the dawn of the 20th century, and New York City is alive with change, innovation, and the vibrant rhythms of ragtime. This Tony Award-winning musical brings to life the intertwining stories of three families—a white, upper-middle-class family in New Rochelle, an African-American musician and his girlfriend in Harlem, and a Jewish immigrant and his daughter on the Lower East Side.

Their journeys are shaped by the towering figures of the era, including the daring Harry Houdini, the visionary Booker T. Washington, the powerful J.P. Morgan, and the industrial titan Henry Ford. As their lives cross paths, RAGTIME delves into issues of race, class, identity, and the American Dream, delivering a stirring, intimate production that speaks as profoundly to today's world as it did a century ago. Recommended for ages 12+ for coarse language.

"We are excited about the positive response to RAGTIME," says Artistic Director, Francine Thomas Reynolds. "The story, the music, the acting, and the singing is amazing! These extra performances are an opportunity for all to catch the show everyone is talking about." Reynolds adds, "I am happy this is a show that many want to see more than once!"
