Three Days of Rain
McLean, Va. – “Three Days of Rain", a drama by Richard Greenberg, opens at 1st Stage in Tysons Corner on Oct. 30.
The production will be directed by Dawn McAndrews, festival director at VSA Arts in Washington, and former artistic director of the Shakespeare Festival St. Louis.
Full of sharp and witty language, arresting images, complex characters, and deep insight, Three Days of Rain is an intellectual and emotional ride. It’s a tour-de-force for three actors as they play characters in the present day, as well as their parents three decades earlier, when three fateful days of rain changed everyone’s lives forever.
The play was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1998.
The 1st Stage production will run through Nov. 22. Performances will be at 8 p.m. Fridays, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays, and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays.
1st Stage is a non-profit theatre located in Tyson’s Corner, Va. It provides young artists a place to learn and to perform -- to launch and nurture their professional careers. More than a dozen actors made their professional debuts during the theatre's inaugural season, which consisted of five productions and won broad critical approval.
Its mission statement says 1st Stage “will work to create a strong cultural institution that complements the economic strengths of the community”. One of 1st Stage’s key goals is to become a resource that “connects the county and community to fresh, imaginative interpretations of classic and contemporary theatre work.”
Editors: Please note the change from previous productions in the curtain time for Saturday matinees (now 2 p.m.) and Sunday evening performances (now 7 p.m.). Press night will be Saturday, Oct. 31.
