Today my daughter and I meandered over to the Plainfield High School auditorium to catch the final run of the play Doubt by John Patrick Shanley and directed by our resident theatre teacher Mr. Othell J. Miller.
O.M.G.! As is today’s vernacular.
The Scenery! 
The Script!
The Acting!
The Director and His Students!
Worth much more than the $13 I paid for admissions!
This 4 person play featured 3 of our very own PHS Seniors; Nia Ali, Kiara Graves and Adenny Nicasio. I have never laid eyes on either of these young ladies, but I tell you true -- I will never forget them or their performance this afternoon. And I KNOW without a “DOUBT” that we will be seeing and hearing more from these 3 Rising SuperStars!
The storyline was poignant and superbly played. Each actor transported me seamlessly into their role in such a way that I took on their angst, their joy, their fear and their anger. That’s ACTING folks. What a Director and Actor’s dream -- to have their audience forget that this is a play. It doesn’t get any better than that!
This was an AWARD Winning performance Plainfield! The 90 minute play was followed by a 20 minute audience Q&A talkback session. Again what a marvelous experience to behold!
My daughter is now bugging me to get the book! In the end that’s what it is all about…exposing our youth to opportunities that cause create inquiring minds, hungry minds wanting to be tested and expanded.
Well done Mr. Miller and Cast! You've got a fan! Can't wait until the next production!!!
