In April I pour refreshing water down from the sky, but put me on a theater stage and I am merely a person demonstrating a trick. What am I?
A shower
The clue relies on how shifting pronunciation and context changes a word's meaning. A rain shower brings April moisture to help spring plants and flowers grow. However, a person who shows off a trick or demonstrates a product can also be called a 'show-er.'
