In recognition of National Immigrant Heritage Month, Lincoln Center Theater will gather a remarkable group of visionary leaders to celebrate the extraordinary ways immigrants have shaped—and continue to shape—the cultural, intellectual, and civic fabric of this country.
This special evening is alongside a performance of our Lincoln Center’s production of Ragtime.
For over four decades, Lincoln Center Theater has championed storytelling that reflects the complexity, ambition, and evolving identity of American life. Few works embody that mission more powerfully than Ragtime, a soaring portrait of a nation straining toward its promise. Set at the dawn of the twentieth century, the musical traces the intertwined lives of newcomers to America, Black Americans, and families striving toward opportunity, dignity, and belonging—a portrait of a country transformed by those who come to it, and by the contributions they make to its culture, conscience, and future.
