This is Water is the latest one-woman show from award-winning singer-songwriter Rain Perry, directed by Kim Maxwell. It premiered in Summer 2025 at the Hollywood Fringe Festival and is currently on tour.

A site-specific immersive musical experience, featuring innovative use of striking archival footage and endearing family photographs, the play grapples with America's fraught racial history through the lens of Rain’s beloved, complicated, middle-class white Californian family.

With self-deprecating humor and a killer band, Rain offers audiences an opportunity to see themselves and their own families reflected in our evolving American story, igniting the potential for openhearted and constructive conversations about race and racism.

For audiences, experiencing This is Water will create the emotional foundation for a journey that will include dynamic panel discussions, enriching exhibits, inspiring cultural tours and more, providing an opportunity to work through this charged historical moment toward a just, stable, and flourishing future.
