A free concert production of the musical Come From Away, inspired by a true 9/11 story, will take place on Sept. 10.

The lightly comedic show offers a biography of Henrietta Leavitt, a real-life astronomer who made a consequential discovery.

It leans into both the humor and the storybook-like quality of the musical.

The production takes a risk casting Craig Wallace to head a multi-racial family in 1949, but it pays off with a strong performance.

This historical pageant reminds us that we are still living in days of injustice.

Experience an evening of history, rousing music and social justice at historic Ford’s Theatre with a performance of the Tony-winning musical Ragtime. Set during a period of rapid American growth and change in the early 1900s, the musical brings together the stories of a daring Harlem musician, a wealthy white family, and a determined Jewish immigrant. When their lives intersect, the characters’ fates become inextricably bound.

It may not give us the complexity we want; but it delivers the catharsis we need.
