Syncopated Debauchery: A Ragtime Celebration

by Eve Elliot

Award-winning pianist Eve Elliot is your raucous guide into the colorful world of Ragtime, a scandalous yet irresistible music born in the barrooms and bordellos of 1890s America. You’ll meet some of our story’s heroes – and villains – and get a glimpse into their lives and the songs they wrote. Expect plenty of vaudevillian antics as we delve into questions like: Who kidnapped Fats Waller? Why did Jelly Roll Morton own so many suits? How did Scott Joplin uphold his artistic vision amid a slew of rejection? What does “funky butt” mean? The Ragtime era is brilliantly brought to life in this hilarious and poignant one-woman show full of thrilling costume changes, bombastic characters, and virtuosic piano playing.
