Directed by Valerie Rae Smith
Doubt is the Pulitzer and Tony award-winning play that took Broadway by storm. Although it is set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964 its premise seems to be lifted from today’s headlines. This suspense drama follows a conservative nun who grapples with moral uncertainty when she is faced with concerns about one of her male teachers. You will leave the theatre debating the play and the nature of your own doubts.
Miller Auditorium
Tickets: $5 students/seniors; $10 adults
