To open our season, we brought back one of our most popular plays, Jim Leonard, Jr.'s The Diviners .
Set in rural Indiana during the Great Depression of the 1930s, The Diviners is the story of a troubled, autistic boy and the lasting effect he has on his family and tiny community. This funny, insightful, and heart-warming play ran for ten performances in October.
The Diviners also saw the return to the Black Box of former Calhoun actor Zack Whittington, best-known to Calhoun audiences as Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing , Hal in Picnic , and Romeo in Romeo and Juliet . After receiving his theatre degree from Ole Miss, Zack spent a year with the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival. Before moving on to Chicago , Zack accepted the role of C. C. Showers and was terrific. The students loved him and learned much from him, and we all wish him the best in Chicago .
