Twelfth Night Productions (TNP) is proud to open its fall production, "The Diviners," by Jim Leonard, Jr. on Friday, Nov. 6 at the Youngstown Cultural Center in West Seattle.

Set in the fictional town of Zion, Indiana during the Great Depression, "The Diviners" is an earthy, funny, poignant and profoundly tragic play that speaks to a sense of community during a very dark time in our nation's history. 



"The Diviners" is the story of a disturbed young man named Buddy who holds the ability to divine water in a town where water and faith are in short supply. When a charismatic preacher who has lost his faith comes to town, the two outcasts find a common bond and help each other divine for truth, faith and hope.

The townspeoples’ demands for the preacher to return to a way of life he no longer believes in drives both men to a crisis of trust.

Show times: Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21 at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 3 p.m. on Sundays, Nov. 8 and 15.
