"The Diviners" Stage Play Casting Males and Females

Auditions for next show "The Diviners". Actors needed. Please see the details below. About the project: This marvelously theatrical play is the story of a brain damaged teenage boy 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 with tragic results. Additional info: No preparation necessary, but auditioners may prepare a scene. Sides are attached. No memorization necessary for the audition. Performances: August 2-4. If you are interested, please apply.
