AFFILIATE Notes

“Doubt” is a play about knowing the right thing to do and making the leap to do it. The Cincinnati and Louisville affiliates have bought a block of tickets to a special performance of this play for their members and others who might be interested. What follows is a little more about the play and some contact information.

“The play presents the agony a nun experiences when she begins to think the parish priest is molesting young boys. She had no actual positive evidence that this is truly happening, but plenty of intuition and abstract evidence as she notices the troublesome changes occurring in some of her young charges. Her personal moral struggle involves looking out for the welfare of the young boys; her status as “just a parish nun” who probably won’t be believed or even listened to, yet feels morally impelled to do the right thing and report to authorities what she recognizes as child abuse. The internal struggle is agonizing for her -- as it is/was for others who find/found themselves in the same position. The play does not get into the actual sexual situations of the perpetrators and their victims, only the moral struggle of the nun caused by her awareness of those situations and consequent obligations to right the terrible wrong.”

Playhouse offers group rates to groups of ten or more. If you are interested in having a group of your members attend, call Joe Penno, Group Sales Manager, 513-345-2242,
Ext. 239 for ticket availability and reservations or email wrtrjack@cinci.rr.com.
