Announcing Auditions for Century Theatre's Fall 2011 Production of: The Diviners, by Jim Leonard, Jr.

The Diviners is a lyrical fable set in idyllic rural America. It's a fascinating yarn that bristles with complex psychological undercurrents and a hint of Greek tragedy. 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 much younger, he narrowly escaped drowning. His mother drowned in the same accident trying to save him. These traumatic events left him deathly afraid of water. Ironically, the now childlike and sweet-spirited teenager, Buddy, has developed an uncanny ability to find water for his drought-besieged farm community. When a disillusioned preacher, C.C. Showers, comes to the farm seeking employment and food, a unique bond develops between the troubled but gifted Buddy and a man who represents salvation to some of the more stubborn residents.  C.C. devotes himself to helping Buddy, and his efforts precipitate a dramatic chain of events that involves the entire community. This award-winning drama is sure to transport you and  captivate your imagination!

Auditions will be held: August 30, 31, & September 1 from 7-9:30 p.m. in the West Campus Theatre. Students need attend only one audition date. Stage managers and backstage crew are also needed. No experience necessary.  All registered students are invited to participate. Sign up information will be posted near the Theatre Stage Door, W1050, by the 17th of August. You may also email Roberta Cullen (r.cullen@century.edu) or director Sean Dooley (sean.dooley@century.edu) for further information.
