Both of us really liked this performance. Three very strong performers in particular: 'The Father; daughter Lizzy; and 'Starbuck'. There's not a bad seat in the Long Beach main stage theatre. Very good.

We enjoyed the show very much. The venue is small which made our seats very good. We'll be back.

I enjoyed the Rainmaker very much, although some of the acting was questionable. The Dad was definitely a Pro.

Actually, I enjoyed the story in spire of the fact that the acting was truly awful! (Although the dad did a pretty good job.)
