“Gifted,” a Sacred Fools production having its premiere at the Broadwater Black Box, is a far-fetched play that occasionally diverges into the twee. The unlikely premise concerns Ash (Kacie Rogers), whose singular “gift” is her psychic ability to assess the romantic fate of any couple she sees, even in passing. Things look up for Ash when she’s invited to join a support group for similarly gifted individuals, each possessing some sort of psychic power. Although it sometimes strains credulity, “Gifted” succeeds as a theatrical curiosity that piques our interest — and our sense of whimsy.
