    Previous Trivia Winner:

    The original cast member to play Sister Aloysius in the Broadway production (2005) of John Patrick Shanley's Doubt, A Parable was Cherry Jones.  The other original cast members were Brían F. O'Byrne as Father Flynn, Heather Goldenhersh as Sister James, and Adriane Lenox as Mrs. Muller.

    The New York production, directed by Doug Hughes, was performed in one act, running approximately 90 minutes. In interviews, the cast said the second act was what took place when the audience left the theatre and began to discuss their differing opinions of the events — some agreeing with Aloysius and others siding with Flynn.
