At Demens Landing Park
Set in the melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future and and the power of the human spirit to overcome.

A little rain certainly won’t stop us, but should weather conditions look serious enough to cancel or abruptly discontinue a performance, ticket-holders will be able to exchange their tickets for another performance. If a call to cancel a performance is made prior to the show starting we will make the announcement on our facebook page. If you have any questions you can call the Box Office at 727.823.7529 or email boxoffice@americanstage.org

We're here, we're queer, and we're in the park having a local beer. American Stage's Pride in the Park night is your chance to wear your best rainbow, pack a picnic, and enjoy "Ragtime - the Musical" in a fun, safe, place. And what's more LGBTQ+ than musical theatre? Start time is at 7:30 p.m. Come early to enjoy the rainbow before the show kicks off.
Does your fur baby love theatre as much as we do? "Wagtime" in the Park is your chance to bring your pet to our outdoor showing of "Ragtime the Musical"! Bring your dogs, cats, chickens, ferrets - we don't judge - to watch this turn-of-the-century classic musical in Demens Landing. Start time is at 7:30 p.m. Pets are encouraged, but not required for entry.
The trail is just under a mile. The trail is not paved but is wheelchair accessible; expect bumps in the path.
