Young Father Flynn begins a sermon by asking, “What do you do when you’re not sure?” Audiences soon learn that little is certain in John Patrick Shanley’s brilliant, aptly titled play.

Is Father Flynn using his positions as teacher and coach to encourage youngsters or take advantage of them? Is hard-headed Sister Aloysius, the school principal, protecting children from harm, or is she falsely accusing an innocent man of a shocking betrayal of trust? Since its initial sold-out production off-Broadway, Doubt has enthralled and stunned audiences while garnering critical acclaim.
