Doubt opens at the Roxy Regional Theatre for limited run
March 24, 2011
“Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty. When you are lost, you are not alone.”
Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre has started a very limited run of the drama Doubt. The play has received rave reviews and awards during its main stage run, including multiple Tony Awards, several Drama Desk Awards, the Lucille Lortel Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the New York Drama Critics Circle Best Play Award, and the Theater World Award. Miramax released a movie version of the play in 2008 featuring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep.
I went into this having already seen the movie, and can safely say that the Roxy Performance was simply outstanding. I will stack Tom Thayer, Leslie Green, Kendall Anne Thompson, and Adriane Wiley-Hatfield up against Philip Seymour Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis any day! The Roxy’s production of DOUBT is directed by John McDonald and features a stellar cast of Roxy veterans.
