  3. Geronimo - Life on the Reservation


GERONIMO Life on the Reservation 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.
Veteran performer Rudy Ramos (Ironsides, The High Chaparral, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: The Movie, The Enforcer, Defiance, Colors) stars as Geronimo in this critically acclaimed, seldom told story of Geronimo's life as a POW on the Fort Sill Indian Reservation written by award-winning novelist Janelle Meraz Hooper (As Brown As I Want: The Indianhead Diaries, Custer and His Naked Ladies), and helmed by respected actor/director Steve Railsback (The Visitors - dir. Elia Kazan; Helter Skelter, From Here to Eternity, The X-Files). Two nights in April. Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2:30 pm.

Geronimo - Rudy Ramos - The acting career of Rudy Ramos spans six decades, starting with an appearance on the television show Ironside in 1969.  Six months later he was cast as a series regular in the part of Wind, the volatile half-breed Indian boy in the legendary television western The High Chaparral.  Since then he has made over 60 guest appearance on episodic television including recurring roles on the hit television show Hunter in 1987-1988 and Resurrection Boulevard in 2002-2003.  Mr. Ramos has done numerous movies for television including the ground breaking Helter Skelter (100 million viewers over two nights) playing the part of Danny DeCarlo, Everybody’s Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: The Movie as the villainous Captain Ruiz, and he is currently costarring as Felix Long in Yellowstone.  Feature film credits include The Enforcer with Clint Eastwood, Walter Hill’s classic The Driver with Ryan O’Neal and Academy Award nominee French actress Isabelle Adjani, Defiance with Jan-Michael Vincent and Art Carney, Quicksilver with Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne, Colors with Sean Penn and Robert Duvall and the 2001 sleeper Road Dogz directed by Alfredo Ramos, to name a few. The stage has been a big part of Mr. Ramos’ life with appearances in the Los Angeles area at the Mark Taper Forum, Taper Too, The Met, Matrix Theater, Los Angeles Theatre Center, and Nosotros Theatre.  As a member of the Los Angeles Actors Theatre he performed in the award-winning hit show Short Eyes by Miguel Pinero playing the part of Cupcakes.  The ensemble won the 1977 Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Best Ensemble.
