Alabama Rain

The Marshall University School of Theatre presents their spring production of “Alabama Rain” by Heather McCutchen at the The Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre at The Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center February 14-17 & 22-24 at 7:30pm.
In Alabama Rain, Heather McCutchen tells the tale of five sisters living in a mythical southern town where it has not rained in 40 years. The play examines the perils of a stagnant existence as the sisters’ thirst for fertility and growth. Monty Lou’s been pregnant for 10 years; Laurie Laurie’s dead spirit sings from the old magnolia tree; Pheenie’s walking the entire coast of Florida; Rachel’s gone to fetch the Ouija board; and little Dallas LaDean is determined to save them all. When the order of their lives suddenly deteriorates the LaDean family begins a magical quest for water. They struggle with a mysterious well that runs deep in their own backyard, which may or may not have water somewhere at the bottom. In Alabama Rain, these women do battle with the powerful force of “the way things have always been.
Tickets are $20 at the door and $15 for Marshall staff and students.
