ANATOMY OF GRAY by Jim Leonard Jr.
The award-winning author of The Diviners, And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson, and Crow and Weasel describes his newest play as "A children's story for adults."
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. Set in Indiana during the late 1800's, the play deals with death, loss, love, and healing in a unique coming of age story.
