By John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Bill Haley

Show Dates: November 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7:30 and November 15 and 22 at 2:00

Aqua City Actors Theatre (ACAT) of Waterville opens its production of Doubt: A Parable on the weekend of Friday, November 13, at 7:30 PM. Written by John Patrick Shanley, the play takes place during 1964 at St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A charismatic priest, Father Flynn, is trying to upend the schools' strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline.

The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James, a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequence.
