DESCRIPTION:Stranahan Theater | 7:30 p.m. \nDoors: 6:30 pm\nTickets: $39.50 to $99.50 at etix.com or Stranahan Theater box office. \nAaron Lewis grew up in Springfield\, Vermont\, listening to his grandparents’ country 8-tracks.

SUMMARY:Toledo Opera: Ragtime
DESCRIPTION:Valentine Theatre | April 19 & 21 \nRagtime \nNominated for 13 Tony Awards including “Best Musical\,” and winning for “Best Original Score” and “Best Book of a Musical\,” Ragtime makes its premiere to Toledo Opera audiences! Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow\, this musical tapestry depicts an African-American family\, a Jewish family\, and a wealthy white suburban family in turn-of-the-century New York. As they collide in pursuit of the American Dream\, they discover the surprising interconnections of the human heart\, the limitations of justice\, and the unsettling consequences when dreams are permanently deferred. Ragtime is a powerful portrait of life at the turn-of-the-20th century\, exploring America’s timeless contradictions of freedom and prejudice\, wealth and poverty\, hope and despair. Ragtime stars baritone Derrick Davis (Toledo Opera’s I Dream) as Coalhouse Walker\, Jr.\, Broadway soprano Raquel Suarez Groen as Mother\, and baritone Joshua Jeremiah as Tateh.
