212-254-1109. Pochee Beach, San Clemente, California: Summer of '65.
Two young surfers wait for a third, unsure about what might have
happened to him in the course of a mysterious crime. Two young women
arrive on a quest for a ride to the greatest rock show of all time. "Summer
Rain" is a dark fable about spiritual ambition, violence, homophobia,
sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, unfolding on a single night on a lonely
patch of sand. This play is part of the "Dream Up Festival";
a theater festival that takes place at the Theater for the New City (TNC)
from August 8 to September 5, 2010.
