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, the Rev. Hawley Wolfe. Professional actors will tell the real stories of hurricane survivors brought together by the chaotic circumstances following this disaster.
Impromptu Birthday Celebration
The play has been performed in Baton Rouge and New Orleans and is currently on tour through Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. Another tour is scheduled for June through 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.
