Veteran actor/producer Rudy Ramos shares with us his reasons for giving life to the Apache leader Geronimo who has been portrayed as a savage in the court of public opinion; that 'savage' image of the man that is often  reflected in literature, film, and TV.  The more Rudy Ramos looked into the life of the man and the warrior - - Geronimo's humanity took center stage.  In this play, we witness his resiliency, humor and genius as he cleverly evolves from a POW into a celebrity and entrepreneur.  The well-received solo show GERONIMO Life on the Reservation written by Janelle Meraz Hooper, directed by award-winning actor/director Steve Railsback, has toured the U.S. and now enjoys encore performances through February 20th at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks.
