In Depression-era rural Indiana, both faith and water are in short supply. A charismatic preacher barely clinging to his faith drifts into town and meets a gentle but misunderstood boy with the gift of divining. The two outcasts find a common bond and help each other divine for truth, faith and hope. The townspeople demand the preacher return to a way of life he no longer believes in and it drives both men to a crisis of trust. The stunning conclusion will move you to your core. |

The Balkan Women drives home the human cost of war in a tragedy you will not soon forget. Barrymore Award winner for “Outstanding New Play” in 1998. |
