1hr. 30min.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
There is no evidence. There are no witnesses. But for one, there is no doubt. Set in the 1964, Doubt centers on a nun who confronts a priest after suspecting him of abusing a black student. He denies the charges, and much of the play's quick-fire dialogue tackles themes of religion, morality, and authority.

A Wonderful Evening of Theater right here on Long Island
This is a stellar production of *Doubt*, and it deserves audiences that are considerably larger than the ones it has been getting. The audience tonight agreed that it was a terrific show. There was laughter throughout and robust applause at the curtain call. Susan L. Blake shines in a compelling portrayal of the tart-tongued Sister Aloysius, taking a part that could easily slip into caricature and making her a fully realized character. She and the rest of the excellent cast are by turns funny and heartbreaking. It is possible that the small audiences for the show have been due in part to the abysmal weather on opening weekend and to the fact that there is currently no matinee scheduled for this production. That should be no excuse, however. Hop off the couch, grab an umbrella, and stay up until 9:30 for once. This show is definitely worth it!
