"Doubt - A Parable" - Award-winning society commentary at Willits Community Theatre February 7 to 23

Presented by Willits Community Theatre at Willits Community Theatre

Directed by Steve Marston, the play follows a conflict that arises within a Catholic church over how to adapt to changing times.

Father Flynn played by Jeff Shipp has been confronted with the problem of an altar boy caught drinking wine. The boy is African-American and Flynn’s decision not to handle the issue with the church’s usual rigid response sparks stern disapproval from the Nun Superior played by Barbaralee Lilker. She suspects the worst, believing something highly inappropriate must be going on between the boy and Father Flynn. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, and grave doubts regarding Church business have been planted. Enter the boy’s mother, Mrs. Muller, played by Connie Austen; a woman of great power and moral character who is determined, above all, that her son make it through life on fair terms. Ever greater proportions of doubt are now ladled onto how the Church should conduct its business. A young neophyte nun, Sister James, played by Elizabeth Dellett, simply wishes that everyone would just calm down and get along. However, by the time that doubt has become the centerpiece of this moving and engaging drama, the very outcome will ultimately leave some in the audience in a state of questioning and doubt over what is proper and just, for all those concerned.
