Kevin Pelkey directs the cast including Susan Stanton, Tondrea Mabins, and T. Sean Maher.
In "Doubt", set in 1964, Father Flynn, the progressive and beloved priest at the St. Nicholas Church School in the Bronx preaches about the value of uncertainty.
When an unconscionable accusation is leveled against the Father, Sister Aloysius, a rigidly conservative nun and the school principal, realizes that the only way to get justice is to create it herself.
Shanley’s play delves into the murky shadows of moral certainty, with his characters always balancing on the thin line between truth and consequences.
The show won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play.
