Matthew Morrison and Laura Michelle Kelly just posed alongside their pint-sized castmates for a Vogue photoshoot with the legendary Annie Leibovitz. On his new role, Morrison told Vogue: "I'm at a turning point in my life. I'm coming off a hugely successful television show, I'm newly married and I'm coming back to New York with a lot to prove. I've never been the outright lead of a show before, so it's mine to carry, and-I'm not going to lie-I'm nervous about it."

John Patrick Shanley's thought-provoking drama DOUBT, A PARABLE certainly has earned its share of accolades since it premiered at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 2004. Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, Shanley's screenplay for the film adaptation was also nominated for an Academy Award. The single act play has been brought back in a meticulously detailed production by 1st Stage in Tysons. The playwright's work is reason enough to head to the intimate space 1st Stage calls its home near Tysons Galleria. Shanley's tense, four-person rumination on scandal, gender roles, Catholic church politics, and the power of doubt to bind us or tear us apart is worth a look any time it finds its way to a stage. I just wish the 1st Stage production had more of a spark to ignite the passionate debate and ambiguous mystery Shanley has written.
