Play opens with excellent cast By TOMMY JOYNERf? ~~ Staff Writer Workshop Theater's iil^WICI production of N. Ri- rxiOT M chard Nash's The i* f Rainmaker opened Friday to a very receptive audience of well-dressed people. Directed by David Avin and produced by Jenny Howard, The Rainmaker is a love story set in the late 1800s to early 1900s in the Midwest. The play centers around the motherless Curry family who are suffering from a current hard-hitting drought ? not enough water tc keep their cattle fed and not enough men tc marry off their only daughter, Lizzie. Suddenly, in steps a handsome man who claims to have the ability to make it rain and . . . well, you can probably get the point. David Avin's direction is great. When the work of a director is non-existent, and the characters and actors themselves appear to shine only by their own good graces, that is when direction is perfect. Clever staging is where the good director leaves his mark and, without giving anything away, there is some quite clevei staging in The Rainmaker. The scriptwriting does not suffer at all from the slightly mundane story line. Nash's humoi and sense of beauty are light and nice, and his dialogues are natural and smooth. Combine this with a strong cast and voila! a good productior i rn? t -m urn, new l v snows p To keep readers updated on the season premie sion programs, Carolina Life for the next week \ new episode debuts.
