This is Water

A thoughtful, heartfelt and honest look at the race relations in America, punctuated by beautifully written and performed songs from Rain Perry’s, “A White Album.” Perry intertwines the history of racism in our country with her own experience growing up as a white “hippie girl,” coming of age in the 1970’s and trying to make sense of it all.

Rain unflinchingly dives in to our nation's troubled present and past in a very watchable way, finding the right mix of difficult-to-discuss topics and showmanship.... full review

This show has a beautiful, applicable message about what it means to fight back against injustice with love, and how to take responsibility for and arms against inherited societal disfunction. It was a very cool way to theatrically explore DFW's legendary wisdom. ... full review

A scab-scratching exploration of white privilege. Rain Perry relates her family story as an in-the-process researcher with a set filled with file boxes and index cards plus a full AV complement to obliquely connect her hippie father's family to the KKK.... full review
