Then we invite you to attend the theater production, "The Rainmaker", this Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at The Village Players Theater in Toledo, OH. The theater is located at 2740 Upton Avenue in Toledo between Central and Monroe streets.
The play takes place 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 claims to be a rainmaker. And he promises to bring rain, for $100. It’s a silly idea, but the rainmaker is so refreshing and ingratiating that the family finally consent. Forthwith they begin banging on big brass 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.
Tickets for the play cost only $15 and 100% of the proceeds go directly to Fishers of Men! What a great way to have an enjoyable Sunday afternoon and support the ministry of Fishers of Men too!
During intermission, a raffle will be held, also benefiting Fishers of Men. Raffle items include gift cards to La Fiesta Restaurant, Andersons and Krogers, as well as several gift baskets and even some original items from Mexico, including a blanket and traditional Mexican candy.
You may reserve your tickets by calling Diann Claassen at 734-206-2392.
Don't miss this great opportunity to have fun and support Fishers of Men also!
(For those of who you are unable to attend or don't live in the Toledo area, we ask you to pray that this fundraising effort would be a great success!)
