| Summary |
"The Little Country Theater" by Alfred G. Arvold is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It focuses on themes of community, self-expression, and the transformative power of theater in rural life. The initial narrative introduces two young men, one from Iceland and the other from America, who come together to create a play called "The Raindrops," symbolizing the connections and stories that bridge their cultures. At the start of the book, two enthusiastic young men approach the author to discuss their aspiration to produce a play. They are motivated by their sense of community and creativity, despite facing practical challenges like scenery and funding. With determination, they decide to paint their own backdrops and write a play that reflects their experiences, underscoring a striking moral about self-discovery and cultural ties. Their storyline of two raindrops meeting again encapsulates continuous themes of connection and identity, laying the groundwork for the exploration of rural America’s social dynamics throughout the novel.
