Most of the theater majors at the Baltimore School for the Arts ache to be on stage. But yesterday they were transformed into an audience of acolytes, soaking up anecdotes and advice from three professional actresses appearing in Doubt at the Hippodrome Theatre. The school's jampacked dance studio was hot, and the ambient noise - buses, trucks, a siren, even clarinet practice - threatened to drown out the speakers. But the 100 students sat in rapt attention, their eager hands shooting up in droves with questions for Cherry Jones, who won a Tony Award as Sister Aloysius, the stern parochial school principal in John Patrick Shanley's play; Lisa Joyce, who plays a young teaching nun; and Caroline Stefanie Clay, who plays the mother of a student.
