Alan Campbell And Dale Soules In Pulitzer Winning 'Doubt'

Gulfshore Playhouse Presents Pulitzer Prize-Winning Drama 

Gulfshore Playhouse brings Naples professional theatre at its best with their production of "Doubt: a Parable" by John Patrick Shanley.  The highly acclaimed drama plays February 18^th through March 1^st at the Norris Center in Downtown Naples. 

Set in a parochial school in the Bronx in 1964, "Doubt" is a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest's behavior.  The play is less about scandal and more about the fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty.  

"Doubt is a powerful and thought-provoking drama, a real modern masterpiece. It is thrilling for Gulfshore Playhouse to be able to bring our audiences such an acclaimed play with a tremendously talented cast.  I think this will be a play that people will think about and talk about far after it's over," states Kristen Coury, Gulfshore Playhouse Founder and Producing Artistic Director. 

Beginning with this production, Gulfshore Playhouse will be partnering with Café Lurcat to offer theatre patrons a special opportunity to enhance their evening out.  Ticket holders, who present their email ticket confirmation, can enjoy a three course meal and a glass of wine at the Downtown Naples eatery for only $20.95 per guest.  Reservations are requested with seating from 5:00-6:15.  

Tony Award Nominated actor Alan Campbell will star as Father Flynn, the priest whose actions are being called into question.  Campbell received his nomination for originating the role of Joe Gillis, in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard" opposite Glenn Close, Betty Buckley and Elaine Paige.  Naples audiences will remember Alan from his star turn in Gulfshore Playhouse's production of "Oleanna" by David Mamet.  Mr. Campbell also starred in the musical "Contact" on Broadway and in the National Tour and has numerous stage and film credits, including his reoccurring role on the television series "Jake and the Fatman" and "Three's a Crowd."
