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."

- Bob Goepfert, Troy Record (Link to full review - www.troyrecord.com)

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?"

- Matthew G. Moross, The Daily Gazette (Link to full review 
- www.dailygazette.net)

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 through Feb. 27, in a production that rivals 
any other presented locally."
