Cultivating an environment where the arts can flourish...
When is what you believe more powerful than what you believe in? A by-the-book employee suspects her boss of wrongdoing, but she can't get the hierarchy above her to pay attention. A tale of corporate intrigue ripped from today's headlines? Not quite. It's the story of Sister Aloysius, the no-nonsense principal of St. Nicholas Catholic School in 1964, who suspects the Parish priest of inappropriate behavior. A firm adherent to church doctrine and procedure, and with no firm evidence of wrongdoing, Sister Aloysius must decide whether to trust her instincts or to accept Father Flynn's protestations of innocence. The play won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play and was called the "best play of 2005" by over ten national newspapers and magazines. One of the most powerful and thoughtprovoking dramas written in the last ten years, John Patrick Shanley's Doubt is a searing investigation into the certitude of faith and the nature of uncertainty.
