Directed by Joe DePauw

At the time of a paralyzing drought in the West, we discover a girl whose father and two brothers are worried as much about her becoming an old maid as they are about their dying cattle.  For the truth is, she is indeed a plain girl.  The brothers try every possible scheme to marry her off, but without success.  Nor is there any sign of relief from the dry heat.  When suddenly from out of nowhere appears a picaresque character with a mellifluous tongue and the most grandiose notions a man could imagine.  He is a rainmaker, and he promises to bring rain for $100.  It’s a whacky idea but the rainmaker is so refreshing and ingratiating that the family finally consent.  Forthwith they begin banging on big bass drums to rattle the sky; while the rainmaker turns his magic on the girl and persuades her that she has a very real beauty of her own.  And she believes it, just as her father believes the fellow can actually bring rain.  And rain does come and so does love.

Richmond Hill Players started as a dream of a half dozen people in 1968 when they staged a single production, Molière's "The Miser." The group converted the top floor of an old dairy barn to fit their needs and has never looked back.
