A fast-paced game of cat and mouse is ignited when evidence of a priest’s wrongdoing comes to light. At a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, Sister Aloysius, a strict school principal, faces the decision of a lifetime: Does she openly accuse a priest and give voice to her fear of his actions, or does she bury her suspicions and leave room for doubt? This intense and personal power struggle between Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn ultimately calls into question both faith and justice in the shadow of doubt. “A superb new drama ... an inspired study in moral uncertainty with the compelling structure of an old-fashioned detective drama.” –The New York Times.

ALTAR BOYZ comes to ZACH Theatre!

ZACH is excited to announce that Altar Boyz will be our Summer Musical. Tickets are on sale now!

They’ve got the moves, they’ve got the sound and they’ve got a faith stronger than their hair gel. They’re the newest boys on the block the ALTAR BOYZ!

This delightful new musical stars five Apostles of Pop – Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham (he's Jewish) – who will raise your spirits with their spectacular music, sinfully hot dance moves and uncanny ability to drop the funk in fantastic five-part harmony. With choreography that rivals Justin Timberlake and 'N SYNC, the ALTAR BOYZ share their message of brotherhood, love and the power of good hair products.

Book by Kevin Del Aguila Music & Lyrics by Gary Adler & Michael Patrick Walker Based on a Concept by Marc Kessler and Ken Davenport • Directed by Dave Steakley • Musical Direction by Allen Robertson • Choreography by Christopher Gattelli (Choreographer for original Off-Broadway Production!)
