The Diviners: The Powerful Depression-Era Fable
Actors Co-op Theatres (Hollywood, CA)
Set in a fictional Indiana town during the Great Depression, Jim Leonard Jr.’s moving drama focuses on the friendship between an ex-preacher from Kentucky and a disturbed young boy. The boy is deeply traumatized by a near-drowning in his past and deathly afraid of water, but is also gifted with the ability to divine the location of water. As the bond between the two of them grows, the priest works with the boy to overcome his fear. The townspeople, desperate for a spiritual leader, push the lapsed man of God into taking action too soon, with tragic consequences.
