VAIL — Winner of a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, “Doubt” provides an evening of theater that entertains and captivates emotionally, psychologically and intellectually.
The new American masterpiece will be brought to life by one of the nation's leading touring ensembles, Montana Repertory Theatre, at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek on Monday at 7:30 p.m.
In one evening, playwright John Patrick Shanley (Academy Award-winner for “Moonstruck”) tackles faith, trust, mendacity, friendship and the church with a deft and insightful touch. The battle between the play's main characters, Father Flynn and Sister Aloysius, is archetypal in its power and scope.
This is theatre that brings audiences to the edge of their seats and introduces topics that will be discussed long after the final curtain.
Shanley takes doubt very seriously, finding it a positive commodity in a world where talking heads are always so certain, often leading us into unfortunate consequences. Doubt is real. Doubt might, in fact, be healthy. In an extraordinary theatrical sleight of hand, Shanley leaves audiences no simple answers, no pat solutions, and no easy outs. This is playwriting on the highest level, rivaling Moliere, Williams and Shakespeare.
Now one of the oldest and most respected touring companies in the country, Montana Repertory Theatre was established as a professional touring company in 1968 and has presented more than 450 performances in more than 350 communities from California to New York.
