Nearly 20 years after its premiere, John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer- and Tony-winning drama is still revered by audiences and critics alike. When a stern principal at an all-boys' school suspects a priest of inappropriate conduct, are her fears founded? Or is she just projecting her own doubt and mistrust of the world? And what does she risk if she's wrong either way?

Attend this starry, searing play and decide for yourself. You don't have to pray for Doubt tickets — set an alert to find out when they're available to buy on TodayTix.

Doubt: A Parable mainly centers on the conflict between Sister Aloysius, the principal of a fictional Bronx Catholic school, and Father Flynn, one of the schoolteachers and a priest whom she suspects of unseemly relations with one of the boys.

Doubt premiered with Manhattan Theatre Club off Broadway in 2004 before transferring to Broadway the next year. The production starred Cherry Jones and Brían F. O'Byrne, and its four Tony Awards included Best Play and an acting win for Jones.

This time around, Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber take on the roles of Aloysius and Flynn. Daly is best known for her four-time Emmy-winning performance on Cagney & Lacey, her other Emmy-winning turns on Christy and Judging Amy, and her Tony-winning star performance in the 1989 revival of Gypsy. Schreiber is best known for his Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated performance in the title role of Ray Donovan and his Tony-winning performance in Glengarry Glen Ross.

What to Watch For

• It's the season of Shanley! Two of his plays are going up off Broadway alongside Doubt on Broadway: a revival of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea starring Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott, and the world premiere of Brooklyn Laundry, which Shanley also directs.
• Shanley based the character of Sister James, a young nun and teacher at the school in Doubt, on one of his elementary school teachers.
• Catholic school at large was a part of Shanley's own upbringing. In the program notes for Doubt's Broadway premiere, he quipped that he was "thrown out of St. Helena's kindergarten, banned from St. Anthony's hot lunch program and expelled from Cardinal Spellman High School."
• Doubt received a 2008 film adaptation starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
• A parable is a short story meant to teach a lesson. In the Catholic Bible, Jesus commonly tells parables to his followers.
