Mount Madonna School’s 46th Annual “Ramayana!”
June 5 - 6, 7:00 p.m. | June 7 - 8, 2:00 p.m.
Join Hanuman, the monkey army, and Prince Rama and Prince Lakshmana, as they encounter Lord Ravana’s demons of Lanka in their quest to rescue the Princess Sita. With a cast of Mount Madonna School student actors accompanied by an adult choir and musicians, this Ramayana! features exciting action, stunning costumes, and joyous song and dance.
Mount Madonna School’s “Ramayana!” is a Broadway-caliber production, unique in its ambition. Now in its 46th iteration, the show is a major contribution to the artistic and cultural life of the San Francisco and Monterey bay areas, the expression of a living tradition with ties to India and the global Indian diaspora, and a unique treasure for generations of students and theater goers.
Every character in the “Ramayana!” story represents an aspect of one’s personality. There is the devotional service that Hanuman represents, the greed and pride exuded by Ravana, and the sense of duty and righteousness embodied by Rama – these are all aspects of human nature that we each possess, and like all morality tales, the good and the virtuous are what ultimately triumph.
Don’t miss this unique dramatic experience that offers meaning and so much fun for the whole family!
