Doubt: A Parable 

By John Patrick Shanley

Directed by C. Michael Wright

Featuring Colleen Madden, April Paul, Malkia Stampley, Marcus Truschinski

A Pulitzer and Tony-winning play 

John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer and Tony-winning play is a master study in the crushing weight of ambiguity, a complex clash of perspectives that leaves nothing certain.

In 1964, at a Catholic church and school in the Bronx, there is a secret. Sister Aloysius is certain she knows it. But that is not enough - not when she believes the sinner is the parish priest himself, and his victim is the boy who has just become the school's first black student. Equipped with nothing but her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius embarks on a personal crusade with devastating consequences.

Estimated Run Time: One hour, 30 minutes with no intermission (1:00 PM - 2:30 PM)

Learn more by visiting the Doubt: A Parable webpage regarding the cast, video clips of cast performances, interviews & rehearsals, and all the latest news as opening day (April 12) draws near.

Cabot Theatre (Broadway Theatre Centre, 158 N Broadway)

Doubt: A Parable will be staged in the exquisite Cabot Theatre providing a traditional theater setting. The proscenium theatre is modeled after an 18th century European opera house and seats 360.

Accessibility Policy:  On the Badger Bus, you must be able to climb steps to board and exit the bus. If you need assistance, we recommend that you bring a friend to give you a hand.

Free Time 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM in which to Explore and Enjoy Lunch

Our bus will make two Historic Third Ward neighborhood lunch stops:

First, at Milwaukee Public Market for the Historic Third Ward North, and

Second, at the Broadway Theatre Centre for Historic Third Ward South surrounding the theater.

Group Lunch Option is available to those who want to register, but may be hesitant...not knowing anyone and uncomfortable eating alone. The group option lunch addresses this concern and is a good way to make new theater trip friends. Just answer "Yes" to Group Lunch questions on the registration form and we will take care of the rest. Restaurant to be determined.
