110 in the Shade
I thought this play was done very well based on N. Richard Nash's 1954 American classic play "The Rainmaker." The students truly showed that they can act. In this play it mainly focuses on a small family that live in a small farming town where a huge drought is taking place. One hot day a man comes out of nowhere named Starbuck, he tells them that if they will pay him $100 in advance he will bring the rain. Throughout the entire play there is always this drama side of the family, they are trying to get Lizzie married off but she is too hard headed for most men in the town. They try to get her with the sheriff but he is still living in the past constantly thinking of his wife that left him for another man. When Starbuck comes to town he makes Lizzie feel beautiful, for the first time in her life she does. But later as Starbuck and the sheriff are fighting over her she realizes that Starbuck's head is full of dreams and no reality. So who will Lizzie choose? Starbuck the man who made her believe in herself or the sheriff and man still trying to get though the leaving of his wife? Well i guess you are going to have to go watch it to find out, overall I thought it was a very good play and the lead parts were done very well, if your in the mood for a play its a must see.
