Doubt: A Parable at Mulitz-Gudelsky Theatre Lab, Olney Theatre Center

Doubt: A Parable is John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, directed by Hallie Gordon, who also serves as Olney Theatre's Senior Associate Artistic Director. Set at a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, Sister Aloysius harbors suspicions about the charismatic Father Flynn, who has taken a special interest in the school's first Black student. She enlists the young Sister James and the boy's mother as her concern grows into belief that something inappropriate is occurring. Shanley's script challenges the audience to grapple with deep ethical issues of faith, doubt, power, and social change.
