Encore Presentation Of Rudy Ramos In GERONIMO LIFE ON THE RESERVATION Comes to Santa Monica Playhouse
Veteran performer Rudy Ramos returns to Santa Monica Playhouse's intimate Main Stage Saturday, April 6th starring in the critically-acclaimed, seldom told story of the last 23 years of the great Apache leader Geronimo's life as a POW on the Fort Sill Indian Reservation.
Geronimo focuses on the resiliency, humor, and genius of the great Apache leader, bringing his final years to life on the stage in a dramatic recounting of a fascinating, largely forgotten chapter in American history.from his own perspective. Giving him "the voice he never had, the voice he deserves, the voice that has never been heard. He was a great leader. GERONIMO tells the story of a wrong committed against a whole race of people that America would like to forget - something that is still happening today,." said Ramos.
"The white men will never tell the whole story. They control everything that is said about us in the newspapers and books. Even the maps favor the whites. They are dotted with each place we fought the white soldiers. Look closely. You will see: if the soldiers won, it was a battle. If we won, it was a massacre."
Geronimo stars Rudy Ramos (Yellowstone, Ironsides, The High Chaparral, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: The Movie, The Enforcer, Defiance, Colors),and is directed Steve Railsback (The Visitors - dir. Elia Kazan Helter Skelter, From Here to Eternity, The X-Files) from the script by award-winning novelist Janelle Meraz Hooper (As Brown As I Want: The Indianhead Diaries, Custer and His Naked Ladies),
