So what the heck is The Church of Great Rain? Well, it's not exactly a bunch of Lutherans from Minnesota. But it is a group of Vashon Island performers who aspire to be the pacific northwest's answer to A Prairie Home Companion.
When Garrison Keillor opened A Prairie Home Companion at Janet Wallace Auditorium in Saint Paul on July 6, 1974 there were about 12 people in the audience. But those in attendance thought there were worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon. The Church of Great Rain hopes you feel the same about how you'll spend your Sunday evening on Vashon. And besides, when was the last time you were able to order a drink at church? And by harnessing the surgical smart-bombing precision and global reach of the Internet, The Church of Great Rain will launch a preemptive strike on dozens of listeners from around the world. Not since Sarah Palin's Vice Presidential debate have expectations been so low for a broadcasted performance.
The Church of Great Rain will be performing evening services at The Red Bicycle on the last Sunday of each month. The program will deliver a not-very-well-considered sermon, short stories, rumors and truth about islanders and island living, supported by original songs and a weird cast of island characters to raise everyone's spirits for the week ahead. Count on it being loose, fun and very Vashon! FREE COVER!
