Montana Repertory Theatre specializes in the great stories of our world. Often they are classic American dramas like Death of a Salesman or A Streetcar Named Desire. Sometimes we celebrate comedy with the likes of Neil Simon (Lost in Yonkers) or Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor). And occasionally we come upon a new American play that we feel will endure, becoming a classic in its own right. Such is the case with our 2012 selection, John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt.

Winner of a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, Doubt provides that rare evening of theatre that thoroughly entertains and is altogether captivating emotionally, psychologically, and intellectually. The achievement of this play is considerable. In one evening Shanley tackles faith, trust, mendacity, friendship, and the Church with a deft and insightful touch. The battle between Father Flynn and Sister Aloysius is archetypal in its power and scope. This is theatre that brings audiences to the edge of their seats and introduces topics that will be discussed long after the final curtain. Shanley takes doubt very seriously, finding it a positive commodity in a world where talking heads are always so certain, often leading us into unfortunate consequences. Doubt is real. Doubt might, in fact, be healthy. In an extraordinary theatrical sleight of hand, Shanley leaves audiences no simple answers, no pat solutions, and no easy outs. This is playwriting on the highest level, rivaling Molière, Williams, and Shakespeare. Is it any wonder that Montana Rep is so thrilled to be presenting this great new American play? We invite you to join us for the always-incredible journey of live theatre.

The Associate Designers MATT GIBBONS (Associate Scenic Designer) grew up in Montana. He acted, directed, made student films and worked at hotels. One day, his girlfriend needed a scenic designer for her production of The Shape of Things, so he gave it a shot. About a year later, he became a graduate student at The University of Montana. He designed sets for Tongue of a Bird, HAIR, Fuddy Meers, and The Elephant Man at UM, and loved every minute of it. Montana Repertory Theatre also employed him as a summer carpenter during this time, which led to his position as Associate Scenic Designer for Montana Rep’s Doubt. He is profoundly grateful to the professors, designers, directors, and students who gave him their time, expertise, and humor these last few years. Thanks to Mom and Dad for always being there, and advising their son to try and have a little fun sometimes. And by the way, the girlfriend who gave him his first scenic design job somehow stuck with him on this long, strange trip. For that and so many other thing things he can never repay her. But he tries. Thanks, Kaci.

The Rep’s Staff
The Playwright / John Patrick Shanley
JASON McDANIEL (Production Manager) serves as production manager for both Montana Rep and The University of Montana School of Theatre & Dance. He has worked as a scenic designer, technical director, scene shop manager, automation technician, scene shop foreman, carpenter, and instructor. His experience includes work with community theatre groups, local and regional professional theatre, Broadway, and national theatrical tours. Jason received his BFA from the University of Memphis and his MFA from North Carolina School of the Arts. Before joining the Rep in 2010, he was a member of the automation team for Le Rêve, the aqua theatre-in-the-round production at Wynn Las Vegas.
Born in 1950, John Patrick Shanley grew up the youngest of five children in an IrishCatholic family in the Bronx neighborhood of East Tremont. His father, a meatpacker, was an Irish immigrant, and the neighborhood was home to similar working-class Irish and Italian families. “It was extremely anti-intellectual and extremely racist and none of this fit me,” the playwright revealed, recalling that he was “in constant fistfights from the time I was six,” though he asserted he rarely picked the fight himself.
SALINA CHATLAIN (Assistant to the Artistic Director) is thrilled to be part of the Rep family and enjoys her various responsibilities as paperpusher, playwright-wrangler, spell-checker, and master coffee-maker. Salina earned a BFA in acting from UM in 2000 and spent a term studying at the Utrecht School for the Arts in Utrecht, Netherlands. She has appeared in productions with the Montana Rep Educational Outreach Tour as well as Montana Rep Missoula.
TERESA WALDORF (Educational Outreach Coordinator) In addition to her work with Montana Rep, Teresa serves as publicity coordinator and adjunct professor in the School of Theatre & Dance at The University of Montana. She earned her MFA in acting and directing from UM in 1991 and is an actress, director, wife, and mother. She has acted in Missoula for more than fifteen years and was recently seen in the Montana Rep Missoula productions of Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You and Mrs. Farnsworth (in which she played the title roles). Her directing credits with The University of Montana School of Theatre & Dance include Still Life with Iris; Bat Boy: The Musical; Waiting for Godot; The Rocky Horror Show; and Gypsy.

Montana Rep’s Educational Outreach Tour serves rural communities across the state, offering plays, workshops, and post-performance talkbacks for student and adult audiences. Montana Rep Missoula presents cutting-edge new works and revitalized classics that captivate the imagination, challenge the intellect, and stir the senses.

Shanley spent the first eight years of his formal education at a Catholic school run by the Sisters of Charity. He went on to the all-boys Cardinal Spellman High School, where he rebelled against strict, no-nonsense priests, spending time every week in after-school detention. He next attended a private Catholic school in New Hampshire, where he began to thrive as teachers encouraged his writing talents. After briefly attending New York University, Shanley enlisted in the Marine Corps. Following his service in the Vietnam War, he returned to NYU and graduated in 1977 as the valedictorian of his class. Shanley had already started writing plays. In his early twenties, he later recalled, “I tried the dialogue form, and it was instantaneous. I wrote a full-length play the first time I ever wrote in dialogue, and it was produced a few weeks later.” By the early 1980s he had written a half-dozen works, and some of the one-act plays were staged together in a late 1982 production titled Welcome to the Moon. Featuring fanciful characters and props, the play explored themes of love and love’s absence. Critics were less than kind. He had somewhat better luck with Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, a play about two star-crossed lovers who meet in a seedy Bronx bar, which was produced in New York and London in 1984 and toured with the Louisville Festival.
Next, Shanley turned to writing a screenplay based on his experiences with voluble Italian-American families. The resulting film, Moonstruck, starred Cher and Nicolas Cage. A strong supporting cast and interesting subplots centering on love and infidelity rounded out the work, which won Shanley the 1987 Academy Award for best screenplay. Following Moonstruck, Shanley had little success in Hollywood. The January Man and Joe Versus the Volcano, despite the presence of big-name stars, were panned by critics and did poorly at the box office. He was more successful with his script for HBO’s Live from Baghdad, which won a 2003 Emmy Award. Shanley’s playwriting during this time included Italian American Reconciliation (1988) and Beggars in the House of Plenty (1991), featuring the dysfunctional characters who had become the hallmark of his work. In 2001 Shanley became involved with New York’s LAByrinth Theater Company, where his play Where’s My Money? was staged. Continued on next page

Messages Doubt, A Parable began its off-Broadway run in November 2004 and went on to Broadway’s Walter Kerr Theatre the following March. The play earned outstanding praise from critics and the most impressive honors for which a playwright could ever hope: the Pulitzer Prize for drama and the Tony Award for best play of the 2004–2005 season. Shanley adapted his play for the screen, and in 2008, the film, directed by Shanley and starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, was released to critical acclaim. The movie’s many awards included an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay and a Golden Globe for best screenplay. A world premiere, fully-staged production of Shanley’s new play, Pirate, was one of the highlights of Vassar & New York Stage and Film’s Powerhouse Theater 2010 summer season.

DR. ROYCE C. ENGSTROM President, The University of Montana As the President of The University of Montana, I am continually amazed at the talent and dedication of our students, faculty, and staff. No matter where I go on campus, I learn of another program that brings opportunity, challenge, and excitement to the tremendous array of University activities. The Montana Repertory Theatre, or “the Rep,” has brought to our community and to communities around the nation the talent, creativity, and professionalism of the University in the form of first-rate theatre. For over 40 years, and under the leadership of wonderfully creative directors, the Rep has enriched the lives of countless people who turn out to enjoy the productions. The University of Montana is known for, among other things, the nurturing of the arts, through outstanding programs in the visual arts, media arts, creative writing, music, dance, and theatre. The Rep is integral to our reputation in the arts, serving as a major vehicle through which the University contributes to the quality of life in Montana and beyond. The Rep is an important part of our identity and is one of the most effective outreach programs we have. We celebrate its past, we delight in its current productions, and we look forward to a strong future for the Rep. We are fortunate to be blessed with the Montana Repertory Theatre at The University of Montana, and I look forward to enjoying its work for many years to come.

STEPHEN KALM Dean, College of Visual and Performing Arts Most of our daily lives are spent in the gray area between cynicism and certainty. With the recent events that have transpired in collegiate sports and religious institutions, John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt is remarkably prescient as it explores antithetical impulses of a democratic society that seeks to protect the rights of both its most vulnerable members and the alleged perpetrators. While politics and journalism tend to exploit a single viewpoint, the arts, and particularly theatre, enable us to wrestle with this paradox. I am excited to support this wonderful production, which I hope will inspire and transform the hearts and minds of audiences. On behalf of the College of Visual and Performing Arts and The University of Montana, I welcome you to tonight’s performance and thank you for your presence and support.
MARK DEAN
Director, School of Theatre & Dance Montana Repertory Theatre’s relationship with the School of Theatre & Dance is an important component of our students’ educational experience. The Rep plays a critical role in the success of our professional theatre training programs by providing students with unique opportunities to work alongside accomplished actors, directors, designers, and technicians in a variety off situations. Students work with these theatre professionals during the Rep’s semester-long national tour and through involvement with its other programs, including the statewide educational outreach tour, the Missoula Colony playwriting workshop, and Montana Rep Missoula. Touring with Montana Rep as a student prepared me to succeed in this highly competitive profession. Now, as School Director, on a daily basis I see students succeed because of the outstanding hands-on educational experiences offered by the Rep’s integration with our curriculum.
