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.
