Thanks! Yes, it was a great part. One of the challenges, as you know, is the choice (or choices) you have to make concerning his guilt or innocence and how you play it. I guess I won't say anymore so as to not spoil it for anyone. We did only five performances because of our rental situation. It is always frustrating in that it seems I always have some big clarifying revelation half way through the last performance. And, of course, it also takes a number of performances to understand the humor and where the laughs are. On the other hand it was a very draining performance so I am a little relieved it's over. We had a relatively simple set--the office was stage right formed by three walls, we had the garden stage left, just a bench, a plant and a brick wall behind it. We had a podium far left that came off and on for the two sermons and then I did the basketball coaching scene down center. We had such a tight schedule in the theater that I never got to see how anything looked, but it seemed to work OK. Just a minor sight line issue on the office door.

Hey Jayzehr,
 
Prior to the original Broadway opening of Doubt, Shanley said Brian O'Byrne asked him during rehearsal for the show if Flynn was innocent or guilty.  Shanley didn't tell him until after opening night!

We open on May 7th (I'm playing sister Aloyisious).  It's been a difficult process, but the script is amazing!  My dear friend plays sister James and we commute together.  The ride home is pretty tense. Smile
