DOUBT by Patrick Shanley Nov. 13-16, 21-23, 2008 Against the backdrop of a Catholic school in 1964, a strong-minded nun grows suspicious when a young priest seems to take a special interest in a new student. Convinced that the man will be blindly protected by the church hierarchy, she sets out to confront him herself. But are her fears based upon moral certainty or stubborn prejudice?

The Secret Life of Girls by Linda Daughtery May 7-10, 16 & 17, 2009 Sponsored by Don and Renie Barger.
Praise for this play-
"This play is not about real life. It is real life … If you have a daughter under 18, you need to see this show. And if she's over 11, you need to take her with you. Linda Daugherty's powerful script …[is] what many say the theater should be—a moment for reflection about what's true and, in this case, dangerously hidden." -People Newspapers Dallas Texas.
"This brave study of teen girl angst presents an unfortunately realistic and sobering view of what our kids are facing. Hopefully, the conversation Daugherty starts with The Secret Life of Girls will be continued in homes, schools, and communities, giving all of us a chance to respond and offer solutions to the difficulties that many of our young women face." —Susan Sugerman, MD, MPH Girls to Women Health and Wellness, PA, Dallas, Texas. |
