“Ambiguity is the catalyst for Shanley's potent drama, and Taproot's well-chosen cast makes the most of their challenge: Every performance maintains the degree of credibility that is necessary to keep the audience guessing; director Scott Nolte deftly avoids any imbalance that would sway the audience one way or the other, and our expectations are constantly and effectively thwarted.” - Jeff Shannon, The Seattle Times

"What do you do when you're not sure?"

Pulitzer Prize-winner John Patrick Shanley probes the mystery of uncertainty. When Sister Aloysius suspects wrongdoing at St. Nicholas school she instructs Sister James to keep a watchful eye. Her strong convictions set into motion a course of actions that could terminate Father Flynn. In the pursuit of truth, doubt shadows all certainty of the situation. Is Sister Aloysius right? Do convictions alone prove the accuracy of truth?

Producing Artistic Director Scott Nolte directs a cast of William Kumma, Pam Nolte, Jesse Notehelfer and Faith Russell.

This production runs approximately 90 minutes. There is no intermission.

Taproot Theatre recommends this production for ages 12 and above. Children under 5 are not admitted.

“...Taproot's cast confidently navigates Shanley's ethical hall of mirrors, which is also visited by the alleged victim's mother... Like Sister A. and Father Flynn, she has her own selfish way of interpreting the truth — and if you feel certain about what you've seen on Taproot's efficiently designed stage, you've entirely missed the point.” - Jeff Shannon, The Seattle Times
