Ragtime the Musical

July 5, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Ragtime the Musical

Little Radical Theatrics is thrilled to present its 15th-anniversary production, Ragtime, the Musical at the Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater in the Doctor Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

About The Musical

“A triumph for the stage,” according to Time Magazine, this sweeping musical portrait of early 20th century America tells the story of three families in the pursuit of the American Dream. An award-winning creative team brought E.L. Doctorow’s distinguished novel to life on Broadway, winning universal acclaim, including four 1998 Tony Awards and five Drama Desk Awards. Ahren’s and Flaherty’s Ragtime is a compelling epic capturing the American experience at the turn of the 20th century.

Tracking three diverse families in pursuit of the American dream in the volatile “melting pot” of turn-of-the-century New York, Ragtime confronts the dialectic contradictions inherent in American reality: experiences of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair.

LRT’s production of this modern classic musical is directed by Jonathan Barreto and Travis Eaton, Choreogrpahed by Shawn Lowe and Arius West and Musical Directed by Nishaa Johnson.

The 56 person cast features performers of all ages, genders, and ethnicities from all over Central Florida.

Performances for Ragtime will take place August 2nd at 7:30 PM, August 3rd at 7:30 and August 4th at 2 PM.
