From Harry Woods, director of the Cheyenne Little Theatre Players:
I want to invite you all to see “Doubt, A Parable” by John Patrick Shanley on Friday, Oct. 5, 7:30 p.m., at the Atlas Theatre in downtown Cheyenne. The play was the winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award. If you did not purchase that part of the season, all tickets are $10. If you did, your ticket will be at Will Call. Remember for the Readers Theatre Series, all seats are general admission, so you can sit wherever you want.
Here’s are reviews, provided by Dramatists Play Service:
“All the elements come invigoratingly together like clockwork in John Patrick Shanley’s provocative new play, DOUBT, a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest’s behavior that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. A laudable new American play.” — Variety
“#1 show of the year. How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely. In just ninety fast-moving minutes, Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. DOUBT is a lean, potent drama…passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing.” — New York Newsday
“A beautifully balanced drama. Shanley is a writer working at the top of his craft, making the most of a muted but evocative palette in the pursuit of truth’s shadows. Here, for the first time in a long time, is a play that is about something.” — Chicago Tribune
“An eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences. A gripping mystery, tightly written.” — Time Out
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
