John Patrick Shanley and Carole Shorenstein Hays, Doubt
Best Play
John Patrick Shanley (playwright): Wow! Happy. Joy. Fleeting. Fleeting. I want to thank the Sisters of Charity for teaching me read and write. I want to thank the Irish Christian Brothers for throwing me out of high school. I want to thank the incredible ensemble cast of Doubt, for turning in a ferocious avalanche of talent every night. I want to thank, especially, Doug Hughes for the elegant job he did directing my play. I want to acknowledge the tremendous talent of Martin McDonagh and The Pillowman. It's a wonderful play. Who else do I have to thank? Help me here! The wonderful producers of this play, Lynne Meadow, Barry Grove, Scott Rudin, Roger Berlind, and Carole Shorenstein Hays. I want to thank the American Theatre Wing, and say I love the theatre!
Carole Shorenstein Hays (producer): There is great serenity in the certainty of Doubt. I dedicate this to my father, my brother my children, and my wonderful husband, Jeff. The entire company invites you to come and see Doubt at the Walter Kerr Theater. It's the best of Broadway. Thank you.
