Director’s Notes “DOUBT IS UNCERTAIN, BUT CERTAINTY IS ABSURD.” – VOLTAIRE

The actors in this production have found themselves in deep, thoughtful rehearsal conversations stimulated by this play. It has been a joyous time for us. There is nothing like the challenge of analyzing what a playwright is really saying with his story. Director Thank you to my delightful and hardworking Pam Wiley cast, to Rick, Kristin, Ralph, Karina, Nick, and Meg. This production of Doubt may leave you certain or unsure about what happened. I hope you all have wonderful conversations on your way
