March  23, 2008: Doubt  closed today to rave reviews.
        "Deanna Gibson is all ticks and twitches as the bewildered Sister James, without coming off as cute. Gibson uses the Bronx dialect to her advantage by portraying Sister James as an understanding angel's advocate, but at the end, she empowers James with a mind of her own." ~ Southern Florida; Kevin Johnson
        On DOUBT:  "Deanna Gibson, so wonderful in last year's "Blithe Spirit," plays Sister James with a combination of wide-eyed innocence and guile-less faith..."Doubt: A Parable"...is something of a religious experience. It will confirm your belief in live theater." ~ Bill DeYoung, TCPalmEntertainment
