Counter Productions steps in at Provincetown Theater
By Sue Harrison

In the wake of The Provincetown Theater reorganization announced last week, Counter Productions has been chosen to take over much of the programming for the winter. Their first presentation will be “Doubt.” It opens in January.
Auditions for “Doubt” (see below) will take place Nov. 10-11.
Susan Grilli’s Counter Productions most recently produced “Bingo — the Musical” and the one-man play “I Am My Own Wife” at the theater space at the Provincetown Inn this past summer.
Grilli says that Timothy Babcock, who performed in “I Am My Own Wife,” will return to town to appear as the pivotal Father Flynn in “Doubt,” John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. “Doubt” takes on the internal workings of the Catholic Church including shifting focus by members of the church and the widespread allegations of abuse.
“Doubt will be performed Thursday through Sunday from Jan. 10-20.
By next week Grilli expects to have the complete lineup for the full winter’s season of plays plus events for adults and children and more on the company’s Artists in Training program (see related story in this week’s Banner). Grilli also will soon announce Counter Productions’ summer program being produced at the Provincetown Inn.
Auditions for ‘Doubt’
Counter Productions of Provincetown is casting the three female roles in John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt”. The roles are: Sister Aloysius, a female Caucasian, 50-60, a tough, old world school principal who nonetheless has charm and sense of humor; Sister James: female, Caucasian, 20-30, very sincere and impressionable; Mrs. Muller, female, African American, 35-45, appears to be a soft spoken, traditional 1950s housewife, but her ideas are surprisingly confrontational when she starts speaking out.
Auditions are from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 10-11, at The Provincetown Theater, 238 Bradford St., Provincetown. Call (508) 487 4218 or email susan@counter-productions.org for more info.
