Anatomy of Gray at Atwater Village Theatre

Set at the end of the 19th century in the small town of Gray, Indiana, The Wizard of Oz meets Our Town in the Open Fist Theatre Company production of Anatomy of Gray, a funny and touching “children’s story for adults.” Following the death of her father, 15-year-old June prays for a “healer” so no one in town will ever have to suffer again. When a man literally blows into town in a hot air balloon, she thinks her prayer has been answered. At first, the new doctor cures anything and everything; but soon his presence leads to a clash between faith and science.
