Many more have already bought your tickets. The rest of you will want to buy your tickets very soon, because they're about to start selling like hotcakes. I was grateful that Tribune critic, Rosemary Ponnekanti, was even giving our fledgling theatre company attention at all. I'm even more grateful that she came, she enjoyed, and she said such nice things about the show we've worked so hard to prepare for you I look forward to seeing you at the theatre. Excerpts from the Tribune Review DOUBT Fires on all Cylinders for Tacoma's New Theatre Company Gold From Straw by Rosemary Ponnekanti * "Doubt was charged Friday night with the kind of electricity that keeps audiences coming to live theater, thanks to four committed actors, intense direction and a venue - the Mecca building - full of possibilities."[http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs017/1103106317866/img/5.jpg] * "And as the play wound on from structure to chaos, playing on polarities of power and individuality, wisdom and innocence, Gold from Straw's cast went from strength to strength." * "As Mrs. Muller, mother of the boy Father Flynn is accused of molesting, Ieisha McIntyre made her stage debut with incredible force, coating inner toughness with a veil of hope." * "After command performances from Bennett and Brown, each wracked with their own doubts and certainties, the standing ovation from the small audience was well deserved."

DOUBT: A Parable by John Patrick Shanley (recently a major motion picture) In this brilliant and powerful drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her o[http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs017/1103106317866/img/4.gif]wn hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. Certainty, doubt and duty struggle for the upper-hand, and the moral question of what is "right" is as elusive as the truth. Critics Rave "All the elements come invigoratingly together like clockwork in John Patrick Shanley's provocative new play, DOUBT, a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest's behavior that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Something rare for this season: a laudable new American play." -Variety "#1 show of the year. How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely. In just ninety fast-moving minutes, Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. DOUBT is a lean, potent drama...passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing." -NY Newsday "An eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences. A gripping mystery, tightly written." -Time Out ======================================================================= Click here to BUY TICKETS <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103427254285&s=403&e=001lPwPVqiMZyeLH0lmyeVISoYX6pdqOSnXrOtTO_2SvSPbwAMPm7g4kWS15lANNmPDXl66O7R-m2gFZwTKOZEXrOhPR4Mk2F-sCIokjowQS9vV8ZHh2XTgLx-qiwmH3Umts7zhSA9PL7_HvHNh22uwpw==> from Brown Paper Tickets.
