N. Richard Nash’s unabashedly optimistic play became a Broadway hit telling the story of plain and hardworking Lizzie Curry (Linsey Page Morton) as she finds herself falling in love, against her better judgment, with a traveler (Steve Key*) who promises to bring rain to her family’s ever-dry Texas town. “After nearly half a century, The Rainmaker still makes a handsome case for miracles,” said the Los Angeles Times.

The Rainmaker also features guest artists Danny Goldring, Vince Teninty, Robert Brueler, Matt Pratt and Howie Johnson.

The production team includes Sarah E. Ross* (scenic), Sarah Hughey* (lights), Christopher Neville* (costumes), Joe Cerqua (sound), Jamie Karas (props), Kathryn Lochert* (stage manager), Kathy Logelin (dialect coach) and Lauri Dahl* (dramaturg).
