Doubt by John Patrick Shanley. Sept. 7 - Sept. 30
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
Chosen as the best play of the year by over 10 newspapers and magazines,
DOUBT is set in a Bronx Catholic school, where a strong-minded
woman wrestles with conscience and uncertainty as she is faced with
concerns about one of her male colleagues.
DOUBT dramatizes issues straight from today's headlines within a world
re-created with knowing detail and a judicious eye. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative
but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely.
“DOUBT is a lean, potent drama . . . passionate, exquisite, important, and engrossing" (Newsday)

The Pursuit of Happiness by Richard Dresser April 18-May 11
Middle-class life through a funhouse mirror. Not to be confused with the Will Smith movie, this twisted new comedy is a very funny dissection of a family whose pursuit of happiness is radically counter-productive. The daughter, a bright high school senior, angrily rejects the idea of college in her college application essay. This throws her mother into a stop-at-nothing tizzy, which eventually unhinges the girl’s stoic wage-slave father as well. “Laughs and knowing nods, especially for baby boomers.”(Variety)
