Sister Aloysius, a stern nun running a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, suspects their charismatic priest, Father Flynn, could be abusing boys at the school. The play explores nuanced themes of faith, certainty, power, and doubt as Sister Aloysius grapples with how to act, despite lacking hard evidence.
Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and 2005 Tony Award for Best Play.

Based on a true story! The year is 1996 and a Southern theatre company has somehow obtained the rights to perform the award-winning theatrical epic Rapture In America. The play is due to open in 4 days, and citizens are so alarmed about the gay content, strong language, and brief male nudity that the entire city is in an uproar. A battle of wills, morals, the press, the church, the government, the arts, the law, the playwright, the police, and a one-winged angel armed with pepper spray ensues. And thanks to a disastrous live TV interview, the whole nation is watching to see if the show will indeed go on…
Content Warning
Like the play it is about, Southern Rapture contains strong language and brief, non-sexual male nudity.
