CRP's The Diviners

CRP's The Diviners at Carmel's Studio 15 Theatre in association with the Carmel Theatre Company.

Set in the early days of the Depression in a small, fictional Southern Indiana town named Zion, The Diviners follows the story of Buddy Layman a mentally-challenged boy and prophet of sorts with the rare gift to divine water. When a stranger named C.C. Showers passes through Zion, looking for work and food, Buddy takes a sudden and immediate interest in the passer by, which draws the town's attention to C.C., rapidly. The two become close friends and C.C. soon finds himself as Buddy's mentor. Jennie Mae, Buddy's older sister quickly finds herself attracted to C.C., and though he likes her too, they are separated by the stigmas of a conservative 1940s Indiana town. Soon, as quick as the flow of the river, gossip, suspicions and blind faith change C.C.'s relationship with Buddy and the people of Zion--leading to a horrible tragedy, all weaving together this thought provoking and poignant play that questions the very nature of faith. CRP will present Jim Leonard, Jr.'s masterpiece this April, with a captivating blend of story-telling and folk music in the intimate Studio 15 theatre in Carmel's charming Arts District.
