Photo Flash: Meet the Stars of RAMONA QUIMBY at DM Playhouse

The Des Moines Community Playhouse presents "Ramona Quimby," Jan. 6-22, 2017. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the stars in costume below!

Third grade is NOTHING like Ramona Quimby (Tatum Lowell) imagined. Her teacher hates her, her older sister Beezus (Meridan Boyd) is a pain, Aunt Bea (Katie Dorrell) is going to marry a dork, and her Dad (Mike Howland) just lost his job. But with the help of her friends, boisterous and independent Ramona takes on life's challenges.

Narrated by her older sister, Beezus, "Ramona Quimby" takes us through the tumultuous times and family relationships laid out from the original Ramona book series by Beverly Cleary. In the end, Ramona discovers that life isn't always fair; a lesson for the whole family!

The Playhouse production is directed by Melissa Chavas-Miller. The cast includes Jack Andersen, Jacob Bench, Jacob Dorbor, Cael Fitch, Hannah Hayes, Yvette Zaród Hermann, Julie Howland, Sierra Howland, Joseph Maxwell, Isabella Nielsen, Sophie Ruddy, Lydia Smith, Lorene Swanson, and Ed Truslow.
