2. The Diviners

Set in a small, mythical Indiana town in the 1930s, this modern-day parable tells the story of a mentally challenged boy who’s early childhood trauma left him with an extreme fear of water and a gift: he is a diviner, one who can locate underground aquifers. He befriends a disillusioned preacher passing through town, whose well-meant guidance leads to calamity. The Diviners is a humorous, beautiful, and tragic tale that speaks to present-day concerns with gentle wisdom.The Diviners performances run April 17 - 20 at 7:30 p.m. and April 20 & 21 at 2 p.m. in the D-rooms just off the atrium on the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College. The Sunday performance, April 21, is sold out, however open-seat tickets may be purchased at the door before the show. Tickets are on sale now and cost $5 for all ages. This play is recommended for ages 13 and up. Tickets and more information are available at www.theatretusc.com or 205.391.2277.
