When I was a kid, I was a big fan of Beverly Cleary. Once you have read about Ramona and Beezus, they become your “friends” for life. The quirkiness and delightfulness of Cleary’s characters will be coming to life from April 25th to May 11th at the Rose Theater in Omaha. Here a few pictures (provided to me from the Rose) that give you just a taste of what the play will be like!
With appreciation to the Rose Theater for providing me with these pictures!
As you can tell, much of the play seems to be in a school setting. When I was younger, I would have related to the students and their struggles to be heard. BUt now, as a former teacher, I can definitely relate to having students with varying levels of engagement. I am pretty sure I would sympathize with this teacher’s attempt to keep her class on track!
If you are looking for a fun play that would appeal to the whole family, look no further than Ramona Quimby at the Rose Theater. The play premieres tomorrow night. The Saturday 2:00 performance on May 3rd will also be interpreted for the hearing impaired. With having young actors performing, this play will be especially funny and charming!
I loved the Ramona and Beezus books. This would have been a fun show! I remember seeing Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing when I was a kid.
