"Doubt: A Parable" (a drama by John Patrick Shanley) January 16, 2009

CVLT presents the Cleveland-area community theatre premiere of John Patrick Shanley’s powerful Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning drama, starring Eric Oswald as Father Flynn, Harriet Deveto as Sister Aloysious, Cheryl Winslow as Sister James and Sharonn M. Foxx as Mrs. Muller.

Sister Aloysius, a Bronx parochial school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students.

This gripping, tightly written mystery confronts issues straight from today’s headlines, and was chosen as the best play of the year (2004) by more than ten newspapers and magazines. A film version featuring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis was released at the AFI Film Festival in October 2008.

Ben Brantley of the New York Times calls Doubt “…an inspired study in moral uncertainty with the compelling certain structure of an old-fashioned detective drama…One of the year’s ten best.”

“…a lean, potent drama…passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing.” – Linda Winer, Newsday
