San Jose Stage Company's 32nd season launches with a true piece of Americana in N. Richard Nash's Romantic Comedy The Rainmaker. A beautiful, timeless tale of what it means to take a leap of faith in desperately hopeless times.
As described by Nash, "The play takes place in a Western state on a summer day...in a time of drought. I tried to tell a simple story about droughts that happen to people and about faith."
In The Rainmaker Lizzie's hopes and dreams have run dry when the charismatic Starbuck arrives out of nowhere, selling promises of rain--Lizzie must decide: is he a con man, or does he hold the key to everything she desires?
