“Doubt,” which won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for drama, is up for another honor, the 20th annual Lucille Lortel Award for outstanding off-Broadway play.

The play by John Patrick Shanley is one of five Lortel best-play nominees, a group that also includes “After Ashley” by Gina Gionfriddo, “Going to St. Ives” by Lee Blessing, “Intimate Apparel” by Lynn Nottage and “Orson’s Shadow” by Austin Pendleton. The nominations were announced Tuesday.

“Doubt,” which tells the story of a nun’s suspicions about a priest and his relationship with a young boy in a Catholic grade school, opened last November at off-Broadway’s Manhattan Theatre Club. It reopened March 31 on Broadway.

Nominated for best off-Broadway musical were “Altar Boyz,” “Junie B. Jones,” “Lone Star Love” and “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.”

Winners will be announced May 2.
