We had the opportunity to visit the stage of Brigit St. Brigit Theatre Company’s latest production, Doubt: A Parable, at the First Central Congregational Church.

This immersive production invites you to step back into 1964, inside a fictional Bronx parish, where a beloved priest, a steadfast school principal, a devoted mother, and a young, impressionable nun each confront questions of faith, conviction, and uncertainty.

Before you experience this powerful and intimate performance, take a deep dive with us in this podcast. We explore the themes, and what makes this production so compelling.

Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Doubt first premiered off-Broadway in 2004 before its acclaimed Broadway run of 525 performances and 25 previews. It was later adapted into the 2008 film starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Brigit St. Brigit Theatre Company continues to deliver unforgettable theatrical experiences—and this one is no exception!

Cast:  Delaney Driscoll (Sister Aloyisus), Melissa King (Sister James), Murphy Wulfgar (Father Flynn) and Lisa Israel (Mrs. Muller)​​

Artist/Design Team:Cathy MW Kurz (Director) and Eric Griffith (Stage Manager), and Bill VanDeest (Scenic/Lighting Designer)
