  • Mon, Jun 14th - Sat, Jul 3rd - Stowe Theatre Guild Presents Doubt, A Parable
    Director Tom Carder says: "Theater provokes thought and debate. I don't know of a play that succeeds as well as this Pulitzer Prize winner for drama in 2005.  The play asks us not to be too quick to assume absolute certainty and challenges us to stop and question whether we can be certain of anything.  Most damage in this world has been done by those who have been unquestioningly certain - those with no doubt at all.  Reviewers have called 'Doubt' a powerful and compelling drama and a truly wonderful evening in the theater.  Let the debate begin."
