Doubt - A Parable: It'll Make You Wonder

Doubt you'll find Doubt — A Parable entertaining? Think again. This Tony award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning play is the hottest thing on Broadway now, and the movie version, starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, opens in December. The fabulous Market House Theatre is in the middle of its own version, featuring Jody Smith as Father Flynn, Renie Barger as Sister Aloysius, Jennifer Carder as Sister James and Dvonne Miller as Mrs. Mueller, whose young son, Donald, is the only African American student at a Catholic school, set in 1964. That's Sister Aloysius above, suggesting to Mrs. Mueller that Father Flynn has been up to no good with her boy. Mrs. Mueller, seemingly willing to turn a blind eye, just wants to get her boy through the year and then into a good high school. (That's Todd Hatton from WKMS on the right, taping the rehearsal for WKMS.) Was there misbehavior? Was there not? "Some people will leave thinking convinced that the priest is guilty," says super hottie director Michael Cochran. "Others will be convinced that he's not guilty. We've worked hard to make sure that at the end of the play, there's doubt." See what you think. Catch the play this Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m., or Sunday, 2:30 p.m. And listen to Todd's interview with cast members on WKMS. You'll be talking about it for days.
