The impact on American theatre of N. Richard Nash's THE RAINMAKER, a mid-century, self-described Romantic Comedy, is primarily found in its formidable presence (exceeded only by OUR TOWN) in any and all monologue and scene-study books.

The play is culturally dated most certainly but made enjoyable by some strong performances and deft staging by director Tim Dietlein.
