*Albany Civic Theater's production of David Auburn's "Proof", directed by
Aaron Holbritter, continues this weekend and next:*

No flaws in *Proof* - Troy Record

"'Proof' is one of the best shows I’ve seen at Albany Civic Theatre and
indeed, is one of an example of just how good locally produced theater can
be....

"It would be difficult to overpraise the acting...Shannon Whalen creates a
Catherine who is vulnerable, wary and brilliant...Gary Maggio  is able to
suggest the man’s inner tensions without negating his brilliance or charm...

"Albany Civic Theater is offering a flawless production of this fascinating
work. The acting is first rate, the set is one of the best I’ve seen at ACT
and the direction nurtures the performers and sets a mood that is ideal for
the material."

*Proof *worthy of awards that come its way - Daily Gazette

"Auburn's play is a modern mathematical masterstroke, and the production
staged by director Aaron Holbritter at ACT this month is showing it off to
its best advantage...

"Palladino's choice to move Claire's frustrations to the forefront is prime
and works wonderfully because of (her) carefully shaded and layered
controlled bursts of frustration, tinged with regret and guilt...the
revelation here is the work of Ian LaChance (who) turns in an impeccably
well-modulated, controlled and ultimately moving performance...

"Great script, great direction, great performances all add up to a fine
award-winning and rewarding evening of theater. What more proof do you
need?"

*Proof *is good as it gets - Albany Times Union

"Holbritter's cast sharply defines the four characters, unfolding the action
on one of the best ACT sets in years (courtesy Rich Montena)...

"Whalen's Catherine is tough and snarky on the outside and teacup fragile on
the inside. It's a great reading of a big role...(LaChance's) Hal is finely
tuned, caught between confidence and math geek callowness...Maggio's
character's
realization of his own relapse into madness is heartbreaking.
Good work...Palladino is charged with the easy-to-hate role of Claire (and)
is just as on target as the rest of the cast...

"For theater lovers there is nothing better than a good play, well done...Such
is the case with Aaron Holbritter's staging of David Auburn's "Proof." The
show is onstage at Albany Civic
Theater<http://www.timesunion.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=entertainment&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Albany+Civic+Theater%22>
through
Feb. 27, in a production that rivals any other presented locally."
