Doubt — A Parable
by John Patrick Shanley
directed by Mandy Rees

Thursday, Friday, Saturday September 24, 25, 26 at 7:30pm

Doré Arena Theatre 

A Catholic school in the Bronx, 1964. The strong-minded principal Sister Aloysius – feared by students and colleagues alike – has her suspicions that one of her teaching fathers, a charismatic priest, is abusing a vulnerable pupil. Without proof, she is forced to take matters into her own hands. This gripping story poses fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play.

directed by David Melendez

Go back in time and meet the ancient Greeks in this comedy by Aristophanes. With no first-rate tragic poet in Athens, the god Dionysos embarks on a journey to the underworld in search of the greatest playwright. He stages a contest between renowned poets Euripedes and Aeschylus where they must debate their merits. Filled with humor and satire, The Frogs looks at how a society values artistic expressions.
