With music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and Book by
Terrence McNally, the epic sweep of Ragtime is captured in its opening
prologue, a nine-minute kaleidoscope of fictional characters mingling with
historical figures from the early 20th century as originally captured in
E.L. Doctorow's sprawling novel.

  The musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families, as
they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty,
freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in
and be part of the American Dream!

  Featuring many facets of music, this Tony-winning score creates a
thrilling musical that inspires actors and audiences alike! You will
experience a cavalcade of songs such as "Crime of the Century", "Wheels
of a Dream", "Til We Reach That Day", "Your Daddy's Son", "Atlantic
City", "Back to Before", "Our Children", and the title tune, "Ragtime"!

  This production features a virtual melting pot of extraordinarily
talented performers from across the region, bringing this show to life
on SLOC's stage, led by Director Joseph Fava, Musical Director Andrea
Merrill, and Producer Michael Gatzendorfer.

  Reserve your tickets NOW to ensure your part of history at SLOC, as SLOC
Musical Theater proudly presents its premiere of RAGTIME, October 14-23!
