DOUBT Stars Cherry Jones & Brían F. O'Byrne Featured on NY-1 'On Stage' This Weekend

Cherry Jones and Brían F. O'Byrne, currently starring in the 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning play DOUBT, will be featured on NY-1's "OnStage" this weekend, beginning April 16th.

Set against the backdrop of a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, DOUBT is the story of a strong-minded woman faced with a difficult decision. Should she voice concerns about one of her male colleagues…even if she's not entirely certain of the truth?
