Next on Stage : The Rainmaker

December 5 - 22, 2024 at the
Murphey School Auditorium

On a hot summer day in the middle of a drought, the Curry family is as concerned about their sister Lizzie’s marriage prospects as they are about their dying cattle. When a stranger shows up out of nowhere, promising both rain and hope, the family must choose how far they are willing to go to believe.
