The Utah premiere of the winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, Doubt is an electrifying mystery about faith and doubt that thrilled audiences on Broadway for over two years. Author John Patrick Shanley also won an Oscar for writing the movie, “Moonstruck.” While Doubt is still touring the U.S., Pioneer Theatre Company is one of the first regional theatres in the country granted the rights to stage its own production of this compelling story.

Father Brendan Flynn is the charismatic pastor at St. Nicholas, a Catholic church in the Bronx, New York, in 1964. Sister Aloysius is the principal of the parish's elementary school. When a young black student is enrolled at the primarily Italian and Irish school, Sister Aloysius begins to suspect that Father Brendan's relationship with the boy may be inappropriate. Her pursuit of the truth becomes a compelling mystery that investigates the themes of faith and moral uncertainty against the backdrop of a small parish community during the turbulent '60s. Doubt won both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play in 2005.
