“Name of the Rain” Performances for GA
(Updated 6/20/08) The Name of the Rain is a stage play which recounts the true experiences of the first responders and evacuees from New Orleans who took refuge at Broadmoor Presbyterian Church in Baton Rouge in the early days after Hurricane Katrina. The Name of the Rain was written by Broadmoor’s minister, Rev. Hawley Wolfe. Professional actors tell the real stories of hurricane survivors brought together by the chaotic circumstances following Katrina.
The play has been performed in Baton Rouge and New Orleans in Louisiana and toured through Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas. During June it toured Texas, Arizona, and California, with two performances in San Jose during General Assembly. Each show is followed by a DVD presentation about current recovery work by Project Homecoming, a rebuilding effort of The Presbytery of South Louisiana in cooperation with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.
