JEFFERSONVILLE, In. (WDRB) -- Jeffersonville Theatre Arts is taking you back to the wild, wild west.

WDRB's Keith Kaiser got a preview of The Ballad of Little Jo.

Set in the late 19th century, The Ballad of Little Jo is based on an admired independent film and inspired by the remarkable real-life frontier story of Josephine Monaghan.

Josephine, a young society woman living in Boston, bears a child out of wedlock.

In search of a new life and an income to support herself and her baby, she leaves her newborn son in the care of her sister and travels out west alone.

For nearly 20 years, she makes her home in a tough Idaho mining town disguised as a man called “Jo.”

Jeffersonville High Theatre Arts is the first high school to obtain the rights to this show.
