Don't get me wrong, "A Christmas Carol" and "Hamlet" are great. But let's be honest. We've all seen them onstage, probably a few times.
If you're craving some fresh, consider WaterTower Theater's newest play. The crew there just opened "Doubt: A Parable." And there's a good chance you haven't seen this one acted out yet because it's an area premiere for this production. The plot is centered on a young charismatic priest working at a religious school in the early '60s. All is well, that is, until he starts to take a special interest in one of his female students--raising the eyebrows of a pious nun who oversees the school. It ultimately comes down to the word of a nun, versus the word of a preist. This 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning play then begs the question, "what do you do when you're not sure?"
This show is running now through Sunday, Oct. 26. Tickets range $20 to $40 and can be purchased online.
