THE RAINMAKER Comes to The BayWay Arts Centre This Spring

BroadHollow Theatre Company presents THE RAINMAKER at The BayWay Arts Centre, 265 East Main Street, East Islip, running May 16 - May 31, 2015.

Romantic Drama by Richard Nash. 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. Lizzie keeps house for her father and two brothers on the family cattle ranch. She has just returned from a trip to visit pseudo-cousins (all male), which was undertaken with the failed expectation that she would find a husband. As their farm languishes under the devastating drought, Lizzie's family worries about her marriage prospects more than about their dying cattle. The arrival of a charming confidence trickster named Starbuck promising to bring rain in exchange for $100 sets off a series of events which enable Lizzie to see herself in a new light.
