INDIANAPOLIS — Buck Creek Players brings hope and beauty to the stage this summer with N. Richard Nash’s classic American play, The Rainmaker, opening on Fri., Aug. 3, and continuing for a limited two-weekend run through Sun., Aug. 12. Curtain times are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with 2:30 p.m. matinees on Sundays.
Set in the hard years of the Depression-era Dustbowl, The Rainmaker is a story of recognizing the beauty and potential locked away inside all of us. Saddled to a failing cattle ranch, the only woman in a family of menfolk, Lizzie Curry has just about given up hope of finding love and escape. But when a charming trickster named Starbuck breezes into town promising to bring rain for $100, Lizzie’s father gives the man the last of the family’s savings, knowing that what he has to offer them, and Lizzie, is more than just rain.
