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 through the life of Josephine Monaghan.
