As if being born a love child with the name “Summer Rain” weren’t extreme enough, Summer’s mother swung to opposite extreme and joined the Jesus movement, while her hippie father chose to live off of the grid. A clash of parental lifestyles created a single parent home where Summer’s fundamentalist mother didn’t want her dead-beat dad in the picture. The show follows Summer on her personal quest, trying to make sense of her Pentecostal, evangelical upbringing and the inevitable reckoning with a side of her family history she never knew existed, until she lifts up the rock. Yearning for love from a father figure in a religion where her questions never get answered, Summer reaches into the Cosmos, searching for her identity and some semblance of balance, and we learn about a unique moment in time in our American History that leaves most sane people boggle-eyed. Born out of a Solo Performance workshop through the direction of Debra De Liso, Summer “Rain” Sinclair has captured her life story through an intricate weave of raw truth and full self expression.
