Mimi Rogers to Star in in DOUBT: A PARABLE at Ensemble Theatre Company
Performances will run April 7 – 25, 2027.
Mimi Rogers will star as Sister Aloysius Beauvier in John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award–winning drama Doubt: A Parable, directed by Beejan Land playing April 7 – 25, 2027 as part of Ensemble Theatre Company's upcoming season, California: Here and Now, replacing the previously announced The Maltese Falcon.
Rogers takes on one of the Modern American Theatre’s most formidable roles - a Bronx school principal whose certainty about a beloved priest sets off a confrontation that has gripped audiences for two decades. Doubt: A Parable premiered on Broadway in 2004, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, and was later adapted into the acclaimed 2008 film starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Though set in a Bronx parish in 1964, Doubt arrives in California carrying particular weight. The play premiered as the clergy abuse crisis was breaking open nationally — a reckoning California has lived through more publicly than perhaps any other state, from the Los Angeles Archdiocese’s historic settlement to the cases that touched dioceses across the Central Coast. Shanley’s parable about belief, authority, and the cost of certainty is a play that asks the questions California audiences are still asking.
