This powerful production of Doubt: A Parable leaves the audience with just that—doubt. Which is just how the skillful playwright John Patrick Shanley designed the story, constructed as two renditions of an incident told by a charismatic priest who charms young boys and by the suspicious school principal, Sister Aloysius. The power lies in the story’s ambiguity and shifting perspectives. The show boasts complex, intense and spot-on performances by the talented EMH Productions cast under the sharp-eyed, skilled direction of Anthony D’Juan. Its artistic set design is stellar as well. 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. $20. EMH Productions at The William J. Geery Theatre, 2130 L Street; www.emhpros.weebly.com.
