Lorain County Community College Theatre Department announces Auditions for "The Diviners" by Jim Leonard Jr. Directed by Dave Cotton Audition Dates: Sunday, Sept. 13, 2 - 5 pm Monday. Sept. 14, 7 - 10 p.m. LCCC¹s Cirigliano Studio Theater Performance Dates: November 19-21, 2015 According to the Samuel French catalogue, ³this 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 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. They descend on the event and, in the confusion, the boy drowns.² Monologues are welcome, but the focus of the auditions will be on cold readings of scenes from the script.
