Ragtime at Beverly Arts Center in Chicago, IL on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
Ragtime August 2026 OPENING: Thursday, August 27th @ 7:30pm Friday, August 28th @ 7:30pm Saturday, August 29th @ 3:00pm Sunday, August 30th @ 3:00pm $50 β Non-members $45 β Members Ragtime is the 1998 musical that tells the story of three American communities faced with change and redefining the American dream. The story has three protagonists and three ensembles: Mother, a wealthy WASP living in the all-white New Rochelle, Tateh, a Jewish immigrant trying to find his footing and provide for his daughter in the Lower East Side, and Coalhouse Walker, Jr., a black Harlem musician-turned-activist when racist attacks damage his community. Though separate communities, their stories interweave through encounters with American history makers, including Booker T. Washington, Henry Ford, Harry Houdini, and more. As the story reaches its conclusion, the protagonists learn that the real βAmerican dreamβ is bringing communities together, not keeping them apart. PURCHASE TICKETS HERE
