Complete Casting Announced For 'Ragtime' At Cain Park

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Cleveland's own Roderick Lawrence will lead the upcoming production of "Ragtime" at Cain Park.

Lawrence, who was part of the national tour of "The Lion King," has been performing in New York City and Los Angeles and is making a special trip home to be part of the show. The production's official opening is June 14, with shows running until June 30.

The robust cast for the show features 25 actors and actresses. The production is being directed by Joanna May Cullinan with musical direction by Jordan Cooper and choreography by Imani Jackson.

"Ragtime tells the story of three families in the pursuit of the American Dream," Cain Park said in a press release. "Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair...and what it means to live in America."
