Create the affluent, safe world of New Rochelle with manicured VINTAGE VICTORIAN PARK and GRAND VICTORIAN ROW HOMES, a pastel dream of a neighborhood. Inside, VICTORIAN PARLOR SUMMER is a perfectly proper home for Mother, Father, and their family. For gritter New York City, use EAST SIDE STREET - B for New York's Lower East Side, RED BRICK WALL for the streets and clubs of Harlem, and NEWSPAPER ROW for Emma Goldman's speeches and other protest scenes. With a few set pieces, SUNLIT OCEAN can be transformed into the docks or Atlantic City.

Ragtime Backdrops

At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Set in the volatile 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. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair... and what it means to live in America.
