and their parents, Bob and Dorothy. Ramona is eight years old, and when the
play begins she is ready to start third grade with her good friend, Howie, and
her not-so-good friend, Susan. Everything seems normal and predictable until
Bob Quimby loses his job and struggles to quit smoking (again). To complicate
things further, her wonderful Aunt Bea decides to marry some DORK, and she
overhears her teacher describe her as a “nuisance.” But this year,
she’s no longer a “kindergarten baby,” so the family expects
more of her. This play is a faithful adaptation of the Ramona books including
scenes from <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Ramona the Brave, Ramona and Her
Father, </span></i>and<i><span style='font-style:italic'> Ramona Forever. </span></i></span></font></p>
