Our season opens with a marvelously theatrical play. Winner of the American College Theatre Festival, Jim Leonard Jr.'s earthy, funny, poignant and profoundly tragic play has echoes of Steinbeck's classic depression-era work. The characters are simple but good people searching for hope and something to believe in.

In a small Indiana farm community during the Depression, water and faith are in short supply. A charismatic but disenchanted preacher from Kentucky drifts into town and meets "the diviner," a gentle but troubled boy, who is both terrified of water, and strangely drawn to it. As the preacher tries to help him, the boy's innocent wisdom encourages the preacher, and their bond of friendship strengthens, until a crisis of trust brings the play to its tragic conclusion.

A haunting, beautiful play, The Diviners offers an unforgettable experience in the theater.

The Diviners is intended for adult and teenage audiences.

The Diviners is produced by special arrangement with
