Director: Terry Burgler is a professional director, actor, writer and educator.  Locally he served as Artistic Director at Porthouse Theatre for four years.  Currently he is one of the two founding artistic directors of the Ohio Shakespeare Festival.  He is a member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers (ssdc) and Actors' Equity Association (AEA).

Ragtime relates the interconnected stories of three diverse groups (black, white and immigrant) against the backdrop of the early 1900s.   This epic musical dissects the American Dream by interweaving the lives and stories of its compelling fictional characters with the travails of such real-life luminaries as anarchist Emma Goldman, African-American educator and leader Booker T. Washington, industrialist Henry Ford, magician Harry Houdini and vaudeville star Evelyn Nesbit.
