Whoopi Goldberg’s ‘The Whoopi Monologues’ (Without Whoopi) And Acclaimed ‘Kyoto’ Join ‘Ragtime’ In Upcoming Lincoln Center Theater Season
"The Goldberg Monologues' Joins 'Ragtime' and other productions on LCT's upcoming season.
Featuring a score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a book by Terrence McNally, and original orchestrations by William David Brohn, Ragtime weaves fictional narratives with real historical figures and events, creating a rich tapestry that blurs the line between personal struggle and national identity, making history feel both intimate and epic. Helmed by acclaimed Tony Award-winning director Kenny Leon, this fresh and acoustically intimate take on the classic captures every aching emotion in composer Gian Carlo Menotti’s score. Kerry Washington ( American Son, Scandal), and Kara Young ( Purpose, Purlie Victorious) lead a remarkable ensemble of 5 women in bringing Goldberg’s unforgettable characters back to the stage, in this new production directed by Tony Award nominee Whitney White ( Jaja’s African Hair Braiding).
