Watching a Broadway musical for the very first time is something these students will never forget ✨🎭

As part of The ASCAP Foundation program Children Will Listen, these high schoolers experienced the power of live theater with Ragtime — a moving story about hope, change, and the pursuit of justice that feels just as relevant today. Seeing their reactions, hearing their conversations afterward, and watching them connect with the music and storytelling reminded us why arts access matters so deeply.

And what a moment to experience it: Ragtime was recently recognized with 11 Tony nominations bringing renewed attention to this unforgettable revived production! 🌟
