This matinee performance of Ragtime on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at the Rubicon Theatre Company in Ventura, CA, is a chance to see a powerful and relevant musical in an intimate theater setting. It's a good fit for those who appreciate historical narratives, character-driven storytelling, and a diverse range of musical styles within a theatrical framework.
