Kentwood Players presents
Doubt, A Parable
DOUBT, A Parable won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. It tells the story of a nun in a Bronx Catholic School in 1964 who suspects a popular priest of
inappropriate behavior with a student. Armed with nothing more
than a resolute belief in her suspicions and a few circumstantial
details, Sister Aloysius instigates a campaign to remove Father Flynn,
the beloved and progressive parish priest, from St. Nicholas School.
She enlists the help of Sister James, a young nun in the order, and the
child’s tormented mother, Mrs. Muller.
The simple, always shifting plot leaves all four characters and the
audience wondering whether they were justified in their thoughts,
motives, and actions, for as Father Flynn states in his opening sermon,
“Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.”
After-performance Q&A sessions with the cast will take place following all Saturday evening performances, and the cast looks forward to participating in some very lively discussions with our audiences given the nature of the show.
