SOMETIMES THE RAIN,
SOMETIMES THE SEA by Julia Izumi directed by Kate Drummond Outdoors behind the Glenn Hughes Penthouse Theater on the UW Campus: July 21-24 July 27-30 Aug 2, 4-6 Chetzemoka Park, Port Townsend with Key City Public Theater: Aug 11-13 |
The Little Mermaid is Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved and well-known fairy tale, which is why it’s NOT the story our friend, Dolan, is going to tell you today. No, he’s going to tell you the story about a Little Rain Cloud who falls in love with a human.
They are not the same story at all, he swears.
Julia Izumi’s brilliant play is a collision of multiple narratives, framed as a sort-of retelling of The Little Mermaid that erupts into a voyage through Hans Christian Andersen’s tempestuous real-life relationships. Brimming with heartfelt candor, Sometimes the Rain, Sometimes the Sea is a deep-sea dive into what love really looks like.

“This show is as sincere as it is side-splitting, and unapologetic in its chaos; it overflows with all the big feelings we have about growing up, falling in love, and trying to fit into a world that seems like it hasn’t been made for us.” |
