ALL ABOUT ‘DOUBT’
North Fork Community Theatre will present “Doubt: A Parable” by John Patrick Shanley over the next three weekends, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (matinées), January 20-22, 27-29 and February 3-5. The curtain is at 8 p.m. for evening performances, 2:30 p.m. for Sunday matinées. All tickets are $15; call 298-NFCT to order. The theatre is located at 12700 Old Sound Ave., Mattituck.
The play’s four characters struggle to understand what kind of damage “doubt” as well as “certainty” can do and examine the tensions between old and new ways of thinking.
