Mobile Ticketing Issue

Our digital ticketing system is currently experiencing technical issues displaying your mobile tickets.

We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.  If you have purchased tickets for a show, you still have tickets but will be unable to view them on your devices.

If you are a ticket holder for an upcoming performance of Awoowaakii, we ask that you arrive a few minutes earlier and pickup your tickets from the Big Secret Theatre box office (located on the Mezzanine level of Arts Commons, halfway up the central staircase).

We thank you for your understanding and patience.

Overview

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 potential future as 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, without success. Nor is there any sign of relief from the dry heat, when suddenly, from out of nowhere, appears a picaresque, sweet-talking man with quite the sales pitch. Claiming to be a “rainmaker,” the man promises to bring rain, for $100. It’s a silly idea, but the rainmaker is so refreshing and persistent that the family finally consents, banging on big brass drums to rattle the sky. Meanwhile, the rainmaker also turns his magic on the girl, and persuades her that she has a very real beauty of her own. She believes it, just as her father believes the fellow can actually bring rain. Rain does come, and so does love. An excellent play for all groups.
