Afterward, take a short walk to the theatre for the show. Parking is available in the Grand Garage, adjacent to the School of Law and adjoining the Hippodrome. Our panelists will be:

About the Production
Tony award-winner Cherry Jones is recreating her role as Sister Aloysius in the national tour of DOUBT, one of BroadwayÕs most honored plays. Set against the backdrop of a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, the play examines the line between gossip and truth, discipline and compassion, certainty and doubt. It is also the story of a strong-minded woman faced with a difficult decision. Should she voice concerns about one of her male colleagues . . . even if she's not entirely certain of the truth?
This Program is supported by a generous grant from the France-Merrick Foundation to the University of Maryland School of Law's Linking Law & the Arts aeries.
