Ramona Quimby
Saturday, February 23
2 PM & 4 PM • Rudder Theatre
RAMONA QUIMBY, the exasperating but lovable third-grader, has delighted young readers for over fifty years through the books of Newbery Medal-winning writer Beverly Cleary. Now, she comes to life on the stage. Growing up isn't easy, especially for Ramona! Her life is a mess. Her older sister Beezus is a pain, her Aunt Bea may marry a dork, and her Dad just lost his job. She even thinks that her teacher hates her. But with the help of her loving and patient family and friends, Ramona faces these challenges – as audiences laugh and cheer her on.
