“Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Doubt: A Parable" by John Patrick Shanley is a compelling drama that explores the complex themes of faith, morality, and ambiguity. Set in a 1960s Catholic school, the story unfolds as the rigid principal, Sister Aloysius, begins to harbor suspicions about Father Flynn. These concerns lead to a subtle yet intense conflict that raises questions about trust, integrity, and the fine line between certainty and doubt. With its nuanced characters and gripping dialogue, the play draws audiences into a thought-provoking examination of human nature and ethical dilemmas. Its intellectual depth and emotional resonance make "Doubt: A Parable" a timeless and engaging theatrical experience.”

​"All of these characters are beautifully written with depth. This show calls for a very strong cast. I look forward to seeing you all at auditions." -Robin Sutton

In this brilliant and powerful drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award.  "All the elements come invigoratingly together like clockwork in John Patrick Shanley's provocative new play, DOUBT, a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest's behavior that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Something rare for this season: a laudable new American play." - Variety. "A beautifully balanced drama. Shanley is a writer working at the top of his craft, making the most of a muted but evocative palette in the pursuit of truth's shadows. Here, for the first time in a long time, is a play that is about something." - Chicago Tribune "An eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences. A gripping mystery, tightly written." - Time Out NY.
