Performing arts journeys through turn-of-the-century America in 'Ragtime'

May 14-16, 8 p.m.
May 17, 3 p.m.

SCAD performing arts department presents the Tony Award-winning musical “Ragtime” with book by Terrence McNally, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and music by Stephen Flaherty.

Directed by performing arts chair Michael Wainstein and with musical direction by Kevin Wallace, the play is based on the novel of the same name by E. L. Doctorow. “Ragtime” tells the story of the quintessential American experience at the turn of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of three families from very different backgrounds.

All performances are open to the public. General admission is $25 or $15 with student, senior or military ID. Show your SCAD ID for free admission to the May 14 performance or pay just $5 for a ticket to the other performances.
