SATURDAY + SUNDAY "Doubt"

Hollins University and Virginia Tech’s theater departments join forces in producing this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play as part of the Roanoke Arts Festival. A glimpse behind the doors or church politics, "Doubt" is a clash between certainty and ambiguity, between a liberal priest and a conservative nun. It is a gripping story structured like an old-fashioned detective novel. Blunt, yet restrained, the play is set in 1964, but couldn’t be more timely. $10. 5 and 8 p.m. Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday. Mill Mountain Theatre’s Waldron Stage. 362-6517, rnewman@hollins.edu.
