THE RAINMAKER
By N. Richard Nash 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. The brothers try every possible scheme to marry her off, but without success. Nor is there any sign of relief from the dry heat, when suddenly from out of nowhere appears a sweet-talking man with quite the sales pitch, claiming to be a “rainmaker.” Directed by Geoffrey Werbin FRI, Sep 23

By Joe DiPietro Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida. That doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he’s been offered a dream job. The job he’s been waiting for— marketing executive—would take him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. He tells them. The news doesn’t sit well. Directed by Brandon Burtis FRI, Nov 11

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
THE BOYS NEXT DOOR By Tom Griffen The place is a communal residence in a New England city where four mentally handicapped men live under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly “burned out,” young social worker named Jack. Norman works in a doughnut shop and is unable to resist the lure of the sweet pastries; Lucien P. Smith has the mind of a five-year-old but imagines that he is able to be more; Arnold, the ringleader of the group, is a hyperactive, compulsive chatterer; while Barry, a brilliant schizophrenic who is devastated by the unfeeling rejection of his brutal father, fantasizes that he is a golf pro. Directed by Kevin Noll

There are over 45 different species of trees to choose from and several different levels to pick from depending on what type of tree you select.

Pickleball The Parks Department has joined the ranks of communities who are latching onto one of the hottest sports crazes. Pickleball is a sport in which two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a whiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960’s as a children’s backyard pastime but quickly became popular among adults as a fun game for players of all levels. The tennis courts at Harbin Park, Waterworks Park and Gilbert Farms Park are striped for Pickleball. If interested in playing in a Pickleball league in Fairfield please call the Fairfield Parks Department office at 867-5348.
