The Rainmaker May 29, 2011

Set in a drought-ridden rural town in the West in Depression era America, the play tells the story of a pivotal hot summer day in the life of spinsterish Lizzie Curry. As her family's farm suffers under the devastating drought, Lizzie's family is more worried about her marriage prospects than about their dying cattle. The arrival of a charming confident swindler named Starbuck, who promises to bring rain in exchange for $100, sets off a series of events allowing Lizzie to see herself in a new light.
