Compass Theatre is excited to inaugurate its new name with one of the most stimulating plays to have excited the Broadway stage in recent years. Three Days of Rain tells the story of three people whose relationship goes beyond the usual in ways they could never have anticipated. When their fathers die, the surprising secrets and legacies of each are revealed dramatically and painfully, yet with great humor, wit and irony.
     We are very fortunate to have one of San Diego's most distinguished directors, Rosina Reynolds, to bring together some of San Diego's finest actors to present to us a memorable performance.
     The play centers on Walker, his sister Nan, and their childhood friend Pip, who all meet in an unoccupied loft in lower Manhattan in 1995 to divide the legacy of their late fathers who were partners in a renowned architecture firm. In an effort to bring some peace to their own lives, the three search for clues that might explain what had gone on between their fathers, and the women in their lives, decades before. The story then shifts to that earlier time, with the same three actors portraying members of the previous generation in the same loft during the fateful 1960 "three days of rain" which gives the play its title.
     FROM AMAZON.COM: "Richard Greenberg is the winner of the Newsday's George Oppenheimer Award for Best New American Playwright, the Molly Kazan Playwriting Award, the Pen/Laura Pels Award, and his play Three Days of Rain was a finalist for the Pulitzer prize. He has been called 'a major new playwright' who has 'mastered the art of telling a simple story with such grace and skill that it becomes startlingly new' (Fintan O'Toole, New York Daily News). Greenberg's plays have developed a reputation for being 'intelligent, whimsical, always powerful pieces of theatre that are profound without being pretentious and that speak about the very basic longing of human beings' (Amy Schaumberg, Drama-Logue)."
     There are only 14 performances at Compass Theatre, including the preview performances, so tickets should be ordered early.

Richard Greenberg is one of the American theater's most talented and prolific playwrights.
He ventures fearlessly into new areas of the human landscape. His writing is a
pungent mix of wit and intelligence, his characters endlessly varied and complex.

The play’s exploration of how the decisions of parents shape the destiny of
their children charges the audience to decipher what influences each character
and answer the question, “How well can one person fully know another person?”
