THE RAINMAKER Oct 10-Nov 1
by N. Richard Nash
Lizzie Curry’s dream of finding love is about as dry as the drought-whipped land of her family’s ranch. As if on cue, the charming Starbuck swoops in, selling the promise of rain and with it something far more dangerous – hope. A charming tale of faith and unexpected joy in barren times.
Director: Ron Reed.

Performed by Ins Choi.

CHRISTMAS PRESENCE Dec 11-22

The Civil War has come to a bloody end. A critically wounded Jewish Confederate soldier returns to his ruined home where two of his family slaves wait, and the three men are left to sort through the sordid legacy of slavery and a new meaning to Passover.
