Ragtime

STAGES St. Louis will present Ragtime from Sept. 20 to Oct. 20.

At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing and anything is possible. A sweeping musical portrait of early 20th-century America, Ragtime tells the story of three families united by courage, compassion and a belief in not only the American dream but the promise of tomorrow.

Told through a dazzling array of musical styles from the era, this Tony Award-winning musical is bursting with emotion and hope as the surprising interconnections of the heart are discovered and history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, and hope and despair are confronted.
