This was a dramatic play that was very well done. It had been a long time since we had seen a dramatic play. We usually we go to musicals. The actors were very good. The theatre is small and the only problem we had was finding it. After several phone calls to the theatre we finally found it. The personnel at the theatre were very nice about giving directions and we would recommend seeing the play.Written on Apr 14 2008

More Information About Three Days of Rain
Description
Three Days of Rain centers on a brother and sister and their childhood friend who meet in 1995 to divide the legacy of their late fathers, partners in a renowned architecture firm. The story then shifts to 1960 with the same three actors portraying the previous generation.
A year after he disappeared on the day of his father's funeral, Walker Janeway returns to New York. He takes up temporary residence in the unused space where thirty-five years earlier, his father Ned, and Ned's late partner Theo, both architects, lived and designed the great house that would make them famous. Sleepless and emotionally jangled, Walker scours the old empty space for clues to the tortured family history. Discovering his father's journal hidden under the bed, he finds it as unforthcoming as his nearly silent father had been. Walker is joined by his sister, Nan, and their friend from childhood, Pip, Theo's son, to hear the reading of Ned's will. It is there that Walker forces the confrontation that the others need. After an evening of harrowing and sometimes comically inadvertent revelations, Walker disappears once more. This time he returns later that evening with a surprising, but to him, definitive solution to the family puzzle.
The story travels back to 1960, when Ned's journal begins. We meet the parents at the same age their children are in Act One: Ned, who seems very different from the cold monster the children conjured; the charismatic and putative genius, Theo; and Lena, Walker and Nan's mother, the delightful, troubled "Southern woman who admits to thirty." In the guise of a love story, the play offers all the information needed to devise an alternative reading of the sad, unexpectedly romantic family story.
