SYNOPSIS
N. Richard Nash, Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones explore depression-era love and hope in this musical adaptation of Nash’s stage play The Rainmaker. In the tiny town of Three Point, in the hot and drought-stricken American southwest, traveling con man Bill Starbuck promises the local farmers he can conjure some much-needed rain. Spinster Lizzie Curry, whose advances are rebuffed by Sheriff File, blossoms as she pursues a romantic relationship with the charismatic stranger. Numbers include “Love, Don’t Turn Away,” “Little Red Hat,” “Simple Little Things,” “Everything Beautiful Happens At Night” and “Wonderful Music.” PRODUCTION TEAM Director: Don Petersen Musical Director: George Fulda Stage Manager: Samantha Fulda Choreographer: Terri Ritchey Assistant Director: Susy Moorstein Costume Design: Susy Moorstein PERFORMANCE LOCATION AND DATES
