Doubt: A Parable
By John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Gary Heisserer*.
Featuring Kathleen Warfel, Teisha M. Bankston*, Christina Schafer*, and Matt Schwader* as Father Flynn
“An eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequence. A gripping mystery, tightly written” (Time Out New York). Recipient of the 2005 Tony Award® for Best Play and Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt: A Parable is a “beautifully balanced drama” (Chicago Tribune) that tells a nuanced tale of suspicion and morality. An exacting principal of a Bronx Catholic school wrestles with fact versus fiction when she suspects relations between the charismatic priest and a student. Kansas City Actors Theatre (KCAT) presents Doubt: A Parable in a SITE-SPECIFIC production at the Kansas City United Church of Christ.

Pairing one of the greatest plays ever written, with one of the world’s most celebrated Russian translators comes an exhilarating new version of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. “The most affecting version that I have ever seen… The first Vanya that brought me to tears and made me laugh in places I never had before.” (The New York Times). Mixing the tragic and the absurd in this study of Russian middle-class life, as Vanya and his niece Sonya care for the estate of Vanya’s brother-in-law. When the brother-in-law returns with a new wife, affairs are made known, flirtation brings disaster, and the lives of the family come undone.
