RAGTIME is based on the 1975 novel by E.L Doctorow. It was written by Terrence McNally, with lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty. Ragtime tells the story of three groups of Americans from very different backgrounds, represented by Coalhouse Walker, Jr., a Harlem musician, Mother, the matriarch of an upper class family from New Rochelle, NY, and Tateh, a Jewish Immigrant. 
Historical figures such as Harry Houdini, Evelyn Nesbit, Booker T. Washington, J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, and many more also appear. 
This acclaimed musical also includes marches, cakewalks, gospel and ragtime music as its center, with an amazingly moving story and music.
