Caldwell Theatre Company
ROCKS YOUR WORLD
With Pulitzer Prize-Winning
DOUBT
Caldwell Theatre Company has a reputation for staging award-winning, provocative theatrical presentations, and it lives up to its professional standards by inaugurating its new Count de Hoernle Theatre this December 2 with the four-time Tony Award-Winning DOUBT, A Parable, by John Patrick Shanley.
Making its South Florida Premiere, DOUBT kicks off Caldwell's first season (the theater's 33rd season in Boca Raton) in its permanent home with John Patrick Shanley's story about a nun at a grade school in the Bronx who suspects that a priest is abusing a student. DOUBT illustrates a spiritual and moral dilemma for Sister Aloysius, whose name, Aloysius, from the Old German, means famous warrior.
Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and four Tony Awards (nominated for eight), including Best Play in 2005, DOUBT takes its audience on Sister Aloysius' moral rollercoaster ride that raises the ethical question; What do you do when you're not sure?
Doubt is thought's despair; despair is personality's doubt … Doubt and despair … belong to completely different spheres; different sides of the soul are set in motion … Despair is an expression of the total personality, doubt only of thought.
– Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), from "Balance Between Esthetic and Ethical"
DOUBT, features a cast of Carbonell-Award worthy performers. Pat Bowie (recipient of the just announced United States Artists Fellowship Grant Award for 2007) as Mrs. Muller, Terry Hardcastle as Father Brendan Flynn, Amy Montminy as Sister James and Pat Nesbit as Sister Aloysius Beauvier, will be directed by Michael Hall, with Scenic Design by Tim Bennett and Lighting Design by Thomas Salzman.
