When The Rain Stops Falling

“Spanning 80 years and four generations, the story is an intimate tale of fathers and sons, lovers and friends, husbands and wives and a quest for identity.  Warrow’s blocking was masterful, with characters not always interacting, but sharing the stage and moving through space with their future selves. The cast of nine brings a unique blend of talent to the stage. They interacted with a rare chemistry and energy that they contributed to the unique family-like relationships they developed.” Denise Mills Manzagol, The Oakland Press

“The overall tone of When the Rain Stops Falling speaks to inevitability: here, even meeting tends to feel like merely a preamble to parting. Yet in the face of so many goodbyes, both accidental and deliberate, the certainty of connectedness prevails; incredibly, the final retrospective scene reaches a delicate accord that informs and strengthens everything that precedes it. The air is thick with correlations throughout this dense production, which becomes its ultimate accomplishment — even as it curtails relationships, its stealthy success is in pointing toward what we keep of each other.

Warrow takes this contemplative text and imbues the current production with depth of feeling that draws together scattered tales of dissolution into a cohesive big picture… deliberate staging nudges one scene into the other, carefully (but not forcefully) pointing to the contextual links that weave together into a concentrated story fabric.” Carolyn Harmer, The Rogue Critic
