Tacoma Little Theatre to Present THE DIVINERS, 4/23

Tacoma Little Theatre presents The Diviners by Jim Leonard, J., on Thursday, April 23, 2015 at 7:30pm.

Winner of the American College Theatre Festival, this marvelously theatrical play is the story of a disturbed young man and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930s. When the boy was young he almost drowned. This trauma and the loss of his mother in the same accident has left him deathly afraid of water. The preacher, set on breaking away from a long line of Kentucky family preachers, is determined not to do what he does best. He works as a mechanic for the boy's father. The town doesn't have a preacher and the women try to persuade him to preach while he tries to persuade the child to wash. When the preacher finally gets the boy in the river and is washing him, the townspeople mistake the scene for a baptism. They descend on the event and, in the confusion, the boy drowns

The Diviners is directed by Suzy Willhoft, and features Luke Amundson, Coleman Hagerman, Blake R. York, Michael Dresdner, Everett McCracken, Ricky German, Laura Strong, Keryn Giguere, Annette Hockman, Ellen Peters, and Jane McKittrick.
