DOUBT: A Parable

By John Patrick Shanley

Directed by Brenda Wentworth

October 4 - 8 at 7:30 pm
October 9 at 2 pm

Arena Stage, Performing Arts Center

 

At an inner-city Catholic school in 1964, a young priest’s behavior toward one of his male students ignites the suspicions of the school’s headmistress who will stop at nothing to have him removed from the parish. But what if she is mistaken? Less about scandal and more about moral uncertainty, Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize winning drama explores and embraces ambiguity, leaving the audience to arrive at their own conclusion within a world where “doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.”

Can you recognize true love?

If you’ve ever gone to the theatre thinking “please, God, let this be funny and under two hours,” then this is the show for you! We could tell you what it’s about but who really cares, anyway? It has tap dancing, acrobatics, 1920s-era gangsters and chorus girls, monkeys, roller skates and an airplane. Plus, the songs are catchy and there’ll be flashy costumes and pretty lights.  With all this, what else do you honestly need?

TALKING TO TERRORISTS

By Robin Soans

Directed by Vladimir Rovinsky

April 17 - 21 at 7:30 pm
April 22 at 2 pm

Center Stage, Performing Arts Center

 

Talking to Terrorists is composed from real interviews with ex-terrorists, government officials and victims of terrorism from all over the world. The play tries to make audiences aware of the complex reasons individuals are involved in acts of terror and the many different layers of their inner lives. “Meeting” the characters of Talking to Terrorists compels the audience to ask many hard questions about the nature of violence and the necessity of resolving terrorism not with violence or conflict, but with negotiations and peaceful discussions.
