Center Stage Jackson is back performing at Jackson Community College's Potter Center after a several year hiatus. And this production of John Patrick Shanley's DOUBT presented in the intimate Ruth Day Theatre is the perfect vehicle to show the quality of theater available to Jackson County residents.
Gerry Blanchard has assembled a cast that does justice to this parable about what happens when certainty and doubt collide. Under his direction the cast becomes a true ensemble. The set, costumes, lighting and sound are all of the highest quality.
Candice Cain Dunnigan, performing with CSJ for the first time, sees the world in terms of black and white. Her worthy opponent is Father Flynn played by Timm Richardson. Sarah Weber as Sister James is torn between obedience to her superior and her faith in Father Flynn. Monica L. Sanders as Mrs. Muller, whose son has relied on the priest for guidance and friendship, brings a new dimension to the picture.
Audience members tend not to like Sister Aloysius but does that mean she is wrong in her suspicions? This production is bound to spark lots of discussion and that's what the playwright intended.
