Ragtime: School Edition

Ragtime: School Edition is an epic musical that 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. The VST STARS (Students Take a Role at the Samford) Arts Education Program's Les Miserables: School Edition was awarded one of the "best theatre productions" of 2008. Performed by and for area high school students, the STARS initiative introduces young people to the magic of live theatre.
