Doubt: A Parable at Lee Street theatre

This Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama explores the inextricable bond between faith and doubt when a steely nun accuses a beloved priest of inappropriate behavior with a child attending their school. It is 1964 in the Bronx and Sister Aloysius fears Father Flynn may have taken advantage of his status and power over the students. Where do you draw the line between suspicion and belief? Is Sister Aloysius determined to seek the truth, or turning gossip into a witch hunt? It was the word doubt that inspired John Patrick Shanley to write this powerful and provocative play, and doubt hangs in the air throughout. Get caught in the tangled web St. Nicholas Church School has gotten trapped in.
