This powerhouse won the 2005 Tony® Award for Best Play, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and a whole host of other awards. Set in a Catholic school in 1964, a self-righteous and unwavering nun suspects the charismatic parish priest of several improprieties with one of his young male parishoners. With absolute certainty, she investigates to expose the truth. Is the priest guilty or innocent? Shanley's riveting story asks each of us to examine our own moral compass and the role that doubt plays in faith.

Directed by Daniel DeRaey (2007's Sight Unseen), one of the foremost directors of celebrated and prolific Canadian playwright George F. Walker's work in the U.S., Filthy Rich is an uproarious film noir satire built around a detective story. When washed-up private eye Tyrone Power is hired by two sisters to find a missing mayoral candidate, mayhem ensues as Power stumbles his way through solving the case.
