{{sources|section|date = February 2020}}
The [[New York City]] production, directed by [[Doug Hughes]], was performed in a one-act performance running approximately ninety minutes. In interviews, the cast said the second act took place when the audience left the theatre and began to discuss their differing opinions of the events, with some people agreeing with Aloysius and others siding with Flynn. Upon publication, Shanley changed the title from ''Doubt'' to ''Doubt: A Parable''. The four original cast members were [[Cherry Jones]] as Sister Aloysius, [[Brían F. O'Byrne]] as Father Flynn, [[Heather Goldenhersh]] as Sister James, and [[Adriane Lenox]] as Mrs. Muller.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3514-2004Dec15.html |newspaper=The Washington Post |title=An Unshakable 'Doubt' |first=Peter |last=Marks |date=December 16, 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://theater2.nytimes.com/2004/11/24/theater/reviews/24doub.html |work=The New York Times |title=A Nun Who Is Certain, Even If Truth Is Not |date=November 4, 2004 |first=Ben |last=Brantley |author-link=Ben Brantley}}</ref> This production had scenic design by [[John Lee Beatty]], costume design by Catherine Zuber, lighting design by Pat Collins, and original music and sound design by [[David Van Tieghem]].
