NEW ORLEANS (press release) – In this drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. “Doubt, A Parable” is the recipient of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Play and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
About “Doubt,”Artistic Director A.J. Allegra said, “Doubt is the kind of play that sticks with you long after you leave the theater. Its expert craftsmanship and purposeful ambiguity are the reasons I find myself so often drawn to it. Like any powerful church sermon, it begs you to search your soul and come face-to-face with life’s uncertainties. I am so excited to see my friend Ashley Santos lead this talented local ensemble of artists with a play that is just as relevant and striking as it was when it premiered 20 years ago.”
Leslie Nipkow will play Sister Aloysius Beauvier abnd opposite her, as Father Brendan Flynn, is David Lind. Joining them are Elizabeth McCoy as Sister James and Queen Shereen Macklin as Mrs. Muller.
New Orleans native Ashley Santos takes the helm as Director, with Joshua J. Rodriguez as Assistant Director. Rounding out the creative team is Joan Long (Scenic Design); Jahise LeBouef (Costume Design), Jasmine Williams (Lighting Design), Nick Shackleford (Sound Design), Deborah Bommer-Morrissey (Properties Design), and Laurin Hart (Wig/Hair Design).
