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."
A heartwarming and comic exploration of the human heart.
When tragedy strikes, June Muldoon 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. Set in Indiana during the late 1800s.

Meet The Ensemble
Gavin is a native of Seattle, WA, who - much like his character in Anatomy of Gray - found himself whisked away to the heart of the Midwest and plopped down amongst the Forst Inn theatrical family. Previous performances include She Kills Monsters (Orcus/Ronnie) and Picasso at the Lapin Agile (Pablo Picasso) at the Forst Inn, Western Washington University's production of The Woman in Black (Arthur Kipps), and the Pacific Northwest touring production of Evil Dead: The Musical (Scott/Jake/Moose). Special thanks to Michael Sheeks (for his passion for the craft and love of a good story), to family and friends (both near and far, for your love and support), to the Anatomy cast (for sharing in this journey with love in your hearts) and to Jonathan (for the light he brings to my life every single day - I love you, babe!)

She would like to thank her family and her best friends, Josie and Gracie for their constant support and encouragement
