Unpredictable, Exasperating, Boisterous and Independent....that is Ramona Quimby for you! Always aggravating her older sister, getting into trouble and making a big noisy fuss when things don't go her way. Adapted from the novels of Beverly Cleary by Obie Awarding winning playwright Len Jenkins, the characters and material are very "today." Directed by Sally Jo Smiley.

Old Rock School Auditorium
*****Audition Dates - October 25 & 26 at 7:00pm....This audition includes musical auditions for the Christmas Musical Revue.
The Gift of the Maji is a touching and beautiful story of a young couple unable to afford presents for each other on their first Christmas together. Each sacrifices a treasure to provide a gift for the other but, in doing so, they work at almost tragically funny cross-purposes. This show is about young love and the value of giving.
