In 2009, Marcia Milgrom Dodge directed the Kennedy Center's revival of Ragtime, the classic musical about immigrant families in the early twentieth century and their struggle for the American Dream.

The production went on to Broadway where it earned seven Tony Award nominations, including one for Dodge for best director of a musical.
