The Center for the Performing Arts at DeBaun Auditorium is presenting the concert version of "Ragtime the Musical" March 26th and 27th at 8:00pm and March 28th at 3:00pm. This epic musical paints a nostalgic and powerful portrait of life in turn of the century America. Based on E.L. Doctorow’s distinguished novel, "Ragtime" intertwines three distinct stories that poignantly illustrate history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and love and hate. Tickets are $18 for adults, $12 for students and seniors and $8 for children under 12.
