True to its name, Doubt: A Parable leaves its audience with plenty to think about when the night is over. It’s a simple story with no clear answers. Set in the fictional St. Nicholas Church School, in the Bronx, in the early 1960s, John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt delivers an intense 90-minute story that keeps the audience almost breathless in anticipation of what is to come.

Perkins was there to try out some new tunes with the hopes of recreating the recipe for success he'd found earlier that year.

I’ve seen many musicals over the past twenty years and I must say that last night’s opening performance of Les Miserables at the Fox Cities P.A.C was among my favorites.

Jersey Boys was an energetic and fun theater experience. It was one
great song after another. Going into the show, my knowledge of The Four Seasons
was limited but the show was very entertaining and transformed me into a
Four Seasons fan. I can't wait to download some songs to my iPod. I
was very impressed with what such a small cast could accomplish.
