"Ragtime" is a portrait of a turning point in American history as it follows three families in pursuit of the American dream at the start of the 20th century. In a site-specific re-telling of this classic musical, these stories will be told in Ellis Island's historic Registry Room, through which 12 million immigrants passed between 1892 and 1954. This summer's developmental concert will feature a selection of songs that highlight Ragtime’s nuanced discussion on American identity. Following the performance, audience members will explore Ellis Island's exhibits. With music direction by Madeline Smith, the casting is by Ally Kiley. This concert is presented by Suzanne Friedman, and produced by Brandon Powell and Sammi Cannold. For more information, please visit www.ragtimeonellis.com.
