We're popping up for a stint as the lobby bookstore for the Omaha Community Playhouse during their production of RAGTIME! Be sure to stop by before and after the show to browse our special selections of books picked out just for this event. A tragic yet hopeful tale, four-time Tony Award-winning Ragtime explores the pursuit of the American dream and the meaning of family. Set in the melting pot of New York City at the turn of the century, the lives of a wealthy white couple, a determined Jewish immigrant and an African American ragtime musician intertwine, creating a rich tapestry of American life. With soaring ballads and a stunning score, these characters are connected by their compassion, belief and resolution that they, too, will find their place in the world.
