Galati directed “Ragtime” on Broadway in 1998 and his original production of Terrence McNally’s adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s multifaceted novel about economic progress and social struggle became the definitive internationally known translation of the Chicago tradition of story-theater.Taken as a whole, the Galati oeuvre had two main strands. One was an emotional, optimistic, sweeping, desperately inclusive romanticism.
In 2009, the director Tina Landau aptly cast Galati as Prospero in “The Tempest,” Steppenwolf’s first-ever Shakespeare production.
