The Northside Theatre Company and director Meredith King celebrate the local company’s 41st season, kicking off their 2019-20 season with Doubt, A Parable. Set in a Catholic school in 1964, John Patrick Shanley’s 2005 Tony- and Pulitzer-winning play centers around suspicion, morality, entrenched power structures and the sinister, abusive actors that those systems protect. The play was also adapted into a critically acclaimed movie (also written and directed by Shanley), starring Meryl Streep opposite the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The production runs Thursdays-Sundays through October 27.

Northside Theatre Company brings David Lindsay-Abaire’s latest Broadway production to life. The playwright’s 2007 Pulitzer-winning “Rabbit Hole” made Lindsay-Abaire a household name (so long as the household contains at least one theatre buff) with its tragicomic portrayal of a family’s loss. This production features Margie Walsh of Southie Boston, a down-on-her-luck lower-class lady looking for love—or at least a way to get by. Jonathan Williams directs the show, which runs through May 5.
