STRANGE RAIN follows two reporters as they try to unravel the mystery of a prolonged rain with the aid of lesbian psychics, comic meteorologists, a street-kid poet, and a mysterious man who talks of UFOs and secret experiments in the desert, all leading back decades to the real-life experiments of Wilhelm Reich in the 1950s. The story, though, is not so much about Reich as about deciding what is real and making peace with a difficult past. There are several love stories-central, a boy's love for his father.

The Irondale Project Ensemble is proud to announce the first of an ongoing series: Irondale's Big Box of Distractions: Kids Day at the Theater on Saturday, February 14TH at 1 PM. The event will be held at the Irondale Center (85 S. Oxford Street in Fort Greene). Each event will be between one and two hours long and will cost $10.00 for the first child and $5.00 for each child after that. Adults are admitted FREE with a child. Go to
www.irondale.org for more information.
This first in the series will have a holiday theme for Valentine's Day. The Irondale Ensemble will sing love songs, both modern and ancient; perform love scenes, serious and silly; and work interactively with the audience to create wacky love letters and improvised scenes. All material is appropriate for children as young as six. The afternoon will culminate in a celebratory feast of red velvet cake and a cocktail of ginger ale (or juice), served by the actors.
This event will be the first in a series. 'We plan to have at least one family Saturday every month,' said Executive Director Terry Greiss, 'And each one will have a different theme.' On March 28th the ensemble will host a story telling performance/workshop, led by Brooklyn storyteller Tracy Cook-Person. On April 18th musician Walter Thompson will lead participants through an interactive musical workshop called Sound Painting. In May two very different sessions will be offered: a movement and dance workshop, featuring the theater troupe Blue Mouth on May 9, and a restaging of Irondale's famed production Celebrating Dr. Suess on May 30. 'We really want these events to provide kids and parents with opportunities to experience new things-and also to experience joy. Each performance or workshop will end with a shared meal-cake seems appropriate for Valentine's Day, but maybe we'll have callaloo on the Story-telling day. It all depends on what the artist we're working with that day wants, and also with what's cooking in the neighborhood.'
