For Immediate Release
Contact: Audra Albrecht, Director, Brainerd High School Drama, 218-454-6269
The Brainerd High School Drama Department will produce Jim Leonard Jr.’s award-winning drama The Diviners Friday, December 1st, Saturday, December 2nd, and Sunday, December 3rd, at the Brainerd High School Little Theatre. Show times are 7:00 pm Friday and Saturday, with a 2:30 pm matinee on Sunday. Additional performances may be added based on ticket sales. Tickets are available from cast members, Ms. Albrecht in A100 or at the door: general admission is $5. Because seating in the Little Theatre is limited, advance ticket purchases are strongly encouraged.
The Diviners is set during the Depression in a small farm community where water and faith are in short supply. A charismatic but back-sliding preacher drifts into town and meets a gentle but misunderstood boy with the gift of divining (dousing) water. The two outcasts find a common bond and help each other divine for truth, faith and hope. The townspeople, however, demand the preacher return to a way of life he no longer wants to live and it drives both men to a crisis of trust. 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.
