The Rainmaker (January 10-26, 2002)

A Romantic Comedy by N. Richard Nash

At the time of a paralyzing drought in the American West, we discover a girl whose father and two brothers are worried as much about her becoming an old maid as they are about their dying cattle. Every possible scheme to marry her off is without success. Nor is there any sign of relief from the dry heat. But into their midst comes a picaresque character with a mellifluous tongue and the most grandiose notions a man could imagine. He claims to be a rainmaker! And he promises rain for only $100! Silly idea though it is, he is so refreshing, the family consents. The rainmaker turns his magic on the girl and persuades her she has a very real beauty of her own. Rain does come, and so does love.

Hay Fever (September 20 – October 6, 2001)

A Comedy by Noel Coward

Coward at his hilarious and wicked best!

The Bliss family is ultra-Bohemian. Mother is a retired actress who makes a crisis out of every scene and father is a novelist. The daughter and son are attractive and ill-mannered. One weekend all announce they are expecting a guest; mother has invited an athletic youth who is in love with her; Sorel, a diplomat; Simon, an intense young woman; and David, a flapper type he is studying for a novel. The guests soon find themselves in the middle of mayhem and theatrics; and, although, for the family this is a way of life, for the guests it is utter bewilderment.

The Royal Family (January 11-27, 2001)

A Comedy by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber
