Ragtime
(Broadway Show)
Friday, April 24, 2009, 7:30pm
Cost: $35 per person
Location: The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,
Washington, DC

A poor Jewish immigrant sells his "moving picture" books on the street. A wealthy Victorian couple welcomes a runaway into their home. A Harlem jazz pianist turns an issue of justice into a revolution. One by one, their personal journeys come alive as historic figures offer guidance and diversion--among them escape artist Harry Houdini, auto tycoon Henry Ford, famed educator Booker T. Washington, and chorus girl Evelyn Nesbit. Together, their stories celebrate the struggle between tradition and independence… black and white… old and new… all in pursuit of the American dream. With its cast of vibrant characters, vivid sets and costumes, and Tony Award–winning score, Ragtime is the can't-miss theater event of spring 2009.

Tickets are on sale for $35 each ($68 value) for UM graduate students. Graduate students may purchase one extra ticket for a guest. Transportation to the event will not be provided.
