The Rainmaker
Yellow Tree Theatre
320 5th Ave SE Osseo
Yellow Tree Theatre's seventh season kicks off with N. Richard Nash's The Rainmaker, a longtime stage favorite for a reason -- it's got romance, drama, humor and even a little magic. The story revolves around farm girl Lizzie, whose marriage prospects and dreams of escape are as dry as her family's drought-ridden farm, despite the best efforts of her dad and brothers. Enter the fast-thinking, smooth-talking "rainmaker" Starbuck, who seems to offer the answer to all their problems -- for a price -- but whose interaction with Lizzie allows her to see herself in a surprising new light. First debuting on Broadway in 1954, Nash's funny and poignant American classic shows the power of hope over hardship.

The Rainmaker Reviews
| Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Highly Recommended
"...Just as reality and magic do battle in the script, so do they in Eli Schlatter's set and the lovely, subtle use of projections on a burlap backdrop. On opening night, cast members seemed somewhat surprised by the enthusiastic, instant standing ovation they received. But they shouldn't have been, for they've taken a good play and given it the polish of greatness. About that, they should be confident."
