by N. Richard Nash
directed by Scott Ellis
H.C. Curry's farm is starved for water and his spinster daughter, Lizzie, is starved for love. All that changes when Bill Starbuck, a handsome stranger with a gift for gab, blows into town.
Woody Harrelson (Emmy Award-winner as Woody on "Cheers" and nominated for an Academy Award for The People vs. Larry Flint) makes a triumphant Broadway debut as Bill Starbuck. Joining him is Jayne Atkinson (How I Learned To Drive, The Skriker) as Lizzie.
The Rainmaker is a touching, romantic fairy tale that should not be missed!

A premiere from Tony Award-winner Brian Friel (Dancing at Lughnasa) is a "must-see" in any theatre season. Add in a star-studded cast that includes Kate Burton (The Beauty Queen of Leenane), Helen Carey (London Assurance), Michael Emerson (The Iceman Cometh), John Glover (Tony Award winner, Love! Valour! Compassion!), Gawn Grainger (Give Me Your Answer, Do!, London), Joel Grey (Cabaret) and Lois Smith (Impossible Marriage) and you have a very special theatrical event!
GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER, DO! brings together two writers - one a self-loathing
success, the other a self-respecting failure - for a weekend of domestic and artistic rivalry.
