The Ballad of Little Jo

The Ballad of Little Jo recounts the life of Josephine Monaghan, who leaves her home and child in Boston to make a life for them out West. With no other resources, Josephine begins to work at a mining camp in Idaho – protecting herself and her family through a series of impossible choices. Inspired by a true story and told through a folk-infused score by Grammy Award-winning Nashville songwriter Mike Reid and Lyricist Sarah Schlesinger, The Ballad of Little Jo explores identity, prejudice, fear, and the beauty and horror of the American West at the end of the 19th century. Based on the film The Ballad of Little Jo by Maggie Greenwald THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JO is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
