Leonard, the award-winning author of “The
“The play investigates
themes of loss, Fove,
and redemption.”
Diviners,” ’’And They Dance Real Slow in
Jackson,” and “Crow and Weasel,” describes
his newest play as “a children's story for
adults.” Set in Indiana during the late 1800s,
the play deals with death, loss, love, and
healing in a unique coming of age story.
When June's father dies, she prays for a
healer to come to the small town of Gray, so
that no one will ever suffer again; the next
thing she knows, there's a tornado, and a man
in a balloon blows into town claiming to be a
doctor. At first, the new doctor cures anything
and everything, but soon the town's preacher
takes ill with a mysterious plague. And then
the plague begins to spread.
“The play investigates themes of loss,
love, and redemption,” says Brevard College
Assistant Professor of Theatre Studies
Brandon Smith, who directs the play. “It
asks the audience to look again, and to strive
for humanity and compassion in their own
lives.”
