 It’s the final weekend to catch “Ragtime,” American Stage’s outdoor recreation of E. L. Doctorow’s 1975 novel which confronts many issues: immigration, racism, socialism, women’s rights, industrialization, and the labor movement.

Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Theater Critic said that in “Ragtime,” Music Director Latoya McCormick, reigning Theatre Tampa Bay award winner for “Crowns,” leads a tight, well-drilled nine-piece band.

Director Erica Sutherlin guides her superb cast of 23 with a sure hand for these final four performances happening over the next four nights.

Tickets to see American Stage’s “Ragtime” at Demens Landing in St. Petersburg Thursday-Sunday, May 11-14 are still available and start at $28. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
