It’s also a demonstration of one enduring and unalterable fact: authentic, vibrant, meaningful theater all begins and ends with what takes place on stage.” Best of ’04-’05 recap in the Free Times – “Last season’s outstanding production”* Well, Maybe Next Year: With a few exceptions, the recently ended theater season was a resounding flop James Damico, Free Times Theatre Critic, July 2005 “…last season’s outstanding production – JCC’s *Ragtime* – resoundingly demonstrated that if you opt for an authentic artistic composition and do it exceptionally well, you can sell out even a cavernous stadium, like Tri-C East’s main auditorium. Which is the smart way to put the biz back into show biz.” “The Jewish Community Center’s drama wing ended an enforced year’s sabbatical with a smashing revival.” “JCC’s excellent *Ragtime* was a winner, artistically and at the box office.” “Exceptional” Best of ’04-’05 recap in Angle Magazine – “Moving” “immediacy and power” Sass and Sensibility: ’04-’05 Theatre Season in Review by Linda Eisenstein, Angle Magazine Mentioned in the “EFFECTIVE ENSEMBLE” & “HANDS AT THE HELM” sections. “Fred Sternfeld’s moving RAGTIME had more immediacy and power—at a fraction of the ticket price—than most Playhouse Square tours” Best of ’04 recap in The Cleveland Jewish News – “Simply Superb” 12/31/04 “Cleveland Cavalcade” Column Violet Spevack, Cleveland Jewish News Offers New Year’s plaudits and symbolic gifts: “A star-studded director’s chair for Fred Sternfeld, whose JCC production of *Ragtime* at the Tri-C Center of the Performing Arts played to record audiences and was simply superb”

excerpts from the Free Times review On the 20th Century JCC’S RESPLENDENT RAGTIME LIGHTS UP THE STAGE by James Damico “resplendent” “entertainment blast” “exemplary” “consummate, vivifying direction” “occasionally much superior – to the Broadway touring edition” “genuinely moving” “a host of fine performances” “resounding success … is largely due to Sternfeld’s strategy and generalship. The director has the unique ability to handily manage and extract all the entertainment values from the musical intricacies and populous casts of large-scale productions; and yet always keep the main focus riveted on the human stories at their cores. It’s a rare and most welcome knack.” view complete Free Times review
