Doubt Breaks Walter Kerr Record for Fourth Time

By: BWW News Desk May. 31, 2005

For the fourth time and the third consecutive week, Doubt has broken the Walter Kerr Theatre house record. The show raked in $512,001 for the week of May 23-29--outstanding numbers for a straight drama.

Doubt, directed by John Patrick Shanley, recently won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play, which stars Bryan F. O'Byrne and Cherry Jones, is nominated for 8 Tonys, including Best Play and Best Director for Doug Hughes. In addition, the play has received the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play of the Year, the Drama League Award for Distinguished Play, four Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Play and four Lucille Lortel Awards, including Best Play.

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?

In addition to O'Byrne as the suspicious Father Flynn and Jones as Sister Aloysius, Doubt's cast includes Heather Goldenhersh as Sister James and Adriane Lenox as Mrs. Muller.

Doubt features set design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Catherine Zuber, lighting design by Pat Collins, and original music and sound design by David Van Tieghem. Doubt is produced by Carole Shorenstein Hays, MTC Productions Inc. (Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director; Barry Grove, Executive Producer), Roger Berlind and Scott Rudin.

The performance schedule is Tuesday through Saturday at 8:00 PM, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00 PM, and Sunday at 3:00 PM.

Tickets are available by calling Telecharge.com at 212: 239-6200 or at the Walter Kerr Theatre box office (219 West 48th Street).
