She falls in love with a Native American ranchero, and together they journey across the new U.S. state in search of her true identity. With a blend of American, Native American and Mexican musical styles, Ramona is an epic love story set during one of the most violent, tumultuous points in American history.

Told alternately in the courtroom and in flashback, the musical challenges the political, social, and societal constructs of today’s American South.
