Good timing, because <strong>April 11\u201314 Theatre Oxford <\/strong>presents <em><strong>Doubt: A Parable<\/strong><\/em><strong><br><\/strong>by <strong>John Patrick Shanley. <\/strong>This\u00a0<strong>Pulitzer- and Tony-winning<\/strong> play is a dark mystery about whether a priest did some very bad things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\u201cWhat do you do when you\u2019re not sure?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So asks Father Flynn, the progressive and beloved priest at the St. Nicholas Church School in the Bronx, in his sermon. It\u2019s 1964, and things are changing, to the chagrin of rigid principal Sister Aloysius.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when an unconscionable accusation is leveled against the Father, Sister Aloysius realizes that the only way to get justice is to create it herself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as for the truth of the matter? As Father Flynn says, \u201cDoubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In stunning prose, John Patrick Shanley delves into the murky shadows of moral certainty, his characters always balancing on the thin line between truth and consequences.&nbsp;<em>Doubt: A Parable<\/em>is an exquisite, potent drama that will raise questions and answer none, leaving the audience to grapple with the discomfort of their uncertainties.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theatre Oxford&#8217;s production is performed and produced entirely by talented locals, including <strong>Toni Coleman, Jennifer Lauriello, Connor King, Paula Stack<\/strong>, and is directed by <strong>Brian Whisenant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Performances:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>Thursday, April 11, 7:30 pm<br>Friday, April 12, 7:30 pm<br>Saturday, April 13, 7:30 pm<br>Sunday, April 14, 2 pm <br>Tickets: <em>only $12 in advance, $15 at the door (or $5 with student ID)<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theatreoxford.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/doubt-poster-REVISED.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14544\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you in the mood for some great theater?
