POCATELLO – 色花堂app’s Department of Theatre and Dance will present “Three Days of Rain,” on Feb. 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephens Performing Arts Center.
鈥淭hree Days of Rain鈥 is a modern play written by Richard Greenberg in 1997. It is a story about family relationships and how tumultuous they can become when a parent dies. It addresses the ill-conceived belief that we understand what motivates others. It also incorporates the role that stuttering plays in a person鈥檚 life.
鈥淛ust like life, there are no cut-and-dry answers, no simple solutions, but 鈥楾hree Days of Rain鈥 is a poignant and powerful examination of loss and legacy, cause and effect, and the way we try to reach back through the past to understand our present and give us hope for the future,鈥 said director Stefan Espinosa, theatre lecturer.
The production plays with time. It begins in the year 1995, then jumps back several decades in Act II. Audience members will meet the main characters and then the main characters鈥 parents in order to see what motivated their parents as 20-somethings just starting out.
鈥溾楾hree Days of Rain鈥 looks at the impossibly complicated dynamics of one particular family, and asks us in turn to take the that lens to our own lives 鈥 perhaps leading to greater understanding on the way,鈥 Espinosa said.
Three ISU students Justin Lewis, Austin Baum and Hannah Romney play all six of the production鈥檚 roles.
The intimate play will be performed in the Black Box Theatre with limited seating.
Tickets are available at isu.edu/tickets, in person, or at (208) 282-3595.
