Winner of several coveted Obie Awards, Tintypes is a treasure chest of popular tunes from the time when sheet music was king.
The five all-star cast members of Tintypes portray a myriad of character types drawn from American society during the age of Ragtime, including historic personalities Teddy Roosevelt, the youngest man ever to be elected president; Emma Goldman, the notorious socialist; a black domestic worker; a Chaplin-esque Russian immigrant and Anna Held, the beautiful music hall star. Through song and music, Tintypes evokes the emotions of pride, nostalgia, suffering and optimism felt by Americans at the start of the last century.
