Even in The Rain by IAT Productions

What To Know About This Production

The play follows Michelle, a young woman (age 27) who has always held onto her faith in Jesus, but life’s relentless challenges—loss, financial burdens, strained relationships, and loneliness—cause her to question God’s presence and love. Through her struggles, Michelle isolates herself, turning away from her faith and pushing others aside. The play explores the tension between doubt and belief and the ways God shows up, often quietly, even when we don’t notice.

The story unfolds over five scenes with time passing between them, showing Michelle’s descent into spiritual doubt and her eventual, hard-won reconciliation with her faith.

Cast List For Even in The Rain

Available Roles

  • Michelle - A young woman who starts with a strong belief in God but begins to lose her faith under the weight of life’s struggles. Her arc takes her from hopeful to angry and broken, and finally to redemption.
  • Sarah - Loyal, funny, and caring best friend. Sarah is a constant presence in Michelle’s life and represents unconditional love and steady faith.
  • Joanne - Practical and a bit cynical. She doesn’t share Michelle’s faith and often questions why she holds onto it, providing a contrasting perspective.
  • Mr. Jacobs - A wise yet bitter older man who missed out on living life due to a poor decision made in his youth. He carries regret and initially comes across as gruff and cynical, often muttering sarcastic remarks or sharing harsh “life truths.” Beneath his bitterness, however, is a deep and quiet trust in God that has kept him going. Over the course of the play, his interactions with Michelle reveal his own struggles with faith and redemption. By sharing pieces of his story, Mr. Jacobs becomes an unlikely source of wisdom and hope for Michelle. His demeanor softens over time, mirroring her own spiritual journey.
  • The Stranger - A mysterious figure (a homeless woman) who delivers a critical message to Michelle at her lowest point.
  • Amazon Driver - A quick yet frantic interaction with Michelle that presses her buttons a little more pushing her over the edge.
