Ragtime

Rubicon Theatre Company presents Ragtime, a musical that explores themes of immigration, class, and racial justice at the turn of the 20th century. Based on E.L. Doctorow's novel, the production weaves together the stories of three distinct American groups: African Americans, Eastern European immigrants, and the WASP elite. This is a chance to see a powerful and relevant piece of American musical theater. The Rubicon Theatre in Ventura offers an intimate setting for this kind of dramatic work. Expect a full theatrical production with a strong cast and live music. Those interested in historical narratives and socially conscious storytelling will likely appreciate this particular showing of Ragtime.
