Doubt: A Parable, John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award®-winning Best Play, returns to Broadway  for the first time in nearly two decades. “An inspired study in moral uncertainty” (The New York Times), this  modern classic stars Tony Award winners Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber in a staggering new Roundabout  production directed by Scott Ellis. Sister Aloysius, the principal of a Catholic school in a working-class part of the  Bronx, is feared by students and colleagues alike. But when she suspects nefarious relations between the  charismatic priest Father Flynn and a student, she’s forced to wrestle with what’s fact, what’s fiction, and how  much she’ll risk to expose the difference—all the while wrestling with her own bone-deep Doubts. 

Preview performances of Doubt: A Parable will play Tuesday through Saturday evening at 8:00PM with  Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2:00PM and Sunday matinees at 3:00PM. Regular performances after  opening night will play Tuesday through Friday evening at 7:00PM, and Saturday evening at 8:00PM, with  Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 2:00PM and Sunday matinees at 3:00PM.
