"The Diviners" at the Shawnee Theatre in Bloomfield,
directed by Terrence Monte, is a play worth doing in a production
worth seeing.
James Leonard, Jr.'s work is a richly thoughtful, touching
and funny show set around the mythical small Indiana town
of Zion during the Herbert Hoover years. The story begins
as C.C. Showers played by Mike Price walks onto the stage.
He's one of the depression's wandering men, out walking
the road and living by working for food and a place to sleep.
This Kentucky man was born into a line of successful preachers.
He's lost his calling, but not his core of sensitive caring
honesty
