Welcome to  Klickatat  Street, home to Ramona  and Beatrice Quimby 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 
Ramona the Brave,  Ramona and Her Father, and Ramona Forever.
