VIENNA THEATRE COMPANY

Doubt, A Parable

by John Patrick Shanley Directed by Joanna Henry

In this brilliant and powerful drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students.

Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award.

“All the elements come invigoratingly together like clockwork in John Patrick Shanley’s provocative new play, DOUBT, a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest’s behavior that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Something rare for this season: a laudable new American play.”

–Variety

“A beautifully balanced drama. Shanley is a writer working at the top of his craft, making the most of a muted but evocative palette in the pursuit of truth’s shadows. Here, for the first time in a long time, is a play that is about something.”

“How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely. In just ninety fast-moving minutes, Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. DOUBT is a lean, potent drama…passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing.”

– NY Newsday

– Chicago Tribune

“An eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences. A gripping mystery, tightly written.”

– Time Out NY

This play is recommended for adult audiences. Doubt, the Parable is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.

Strokes are the number one cause of disability, a leading cause of death, and are common; one in six of us will suffer a stroke. While there are effective hospital-based treatments for stroke, the vast majority of stroke patients don’t get to the hospital in time to receive that treatment. This tragedy exists because most people don’t recognize the signs of a stroke; they don’t recognize the medical emergency that is a stroke. Join Margaret as she increases stroke awareness through this Virginia Department of Health-funded program.

MATURE ADULT LECTURES

YoUr resiLienT Brain and YoU

Recent technology and research have proved that we’ve misunderstood the human brain and the role it plays in who we are, what we can do, and who we can be. That misunderstanding has caused us to take our brain for granted, ignoring its needs, and that has led to a population whose brains get less and less healthy and function less effectively with age. You can prevent the declining health and functioning of your brain, and because your brain is resilient, it can be brought back to good health and tiptop functioning shape. This in-person video course at the Vienna Community Center is presented by Norton S. Beckerman, author of “A User’s Guide to a Healthy Brain,” a guest speaker on TEDx, and “Brain Health Coach” on cable TV.

CANCELLED

The Chair Yoga class will be conducted while sitting in sturdy, armless chairs, with some asanas/postures in the standing position, as your abilities dictate. Complete safety, along with self-knowledge will be the mainstays of this class. Any limitations in your movement will be respected and nurtured. We will study yogic anatomy, breathing, meditation, and the elements of solid and confident balance. We will have the same traditional approach that John Guinta uses in his other classes. John is an Initiate of the Himalayan Institute, founded by Swami Rama, and he has made a pilgrimage to India. His varied background and life experience as a US Army veteran, Interfaith Minister and musician will serve us well across all spiritual and secular paths. John plays his own live music for the introduction to each meditation.

Vienna Volunteer Fire Department Parking Lot CarFit is an educational program that offer older adults the opportunity to check how well their personal vehicles “fit” them. It is an individualized, personal instruction to educate drivers on how to best position themselves, by adjusting the car’s safety feature, to maximize their safe driving experience. CarFit uses a 12-point checklist to verify the driver’s awareness of the car’s safety features and operator controls. It is performed on the driver’s car. A trained technician will work with each participant to ensure they “fit” their vehicle properly for maximum comfort and safety. A CarFit check takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. This event is sponsored by Vienna Parks and Recreation. Call 703-255-7801 to reserve a spot today.
