AUDITIONS FOR David Auburn’s PROOF 

The Delta Xi Cast of Alpha Psi Omega, the National  Theater Honor Fraternity 
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, will hold  auditions for David Auburn’s 
Proof on Monday and Tuesday, June 16 and 17,  2008 at 7:30 p.m. in the RPI 
Playhouse, 15th Street (South of Sage  Avenue), Troy, NY.  Registration for 
auditions begins at 7:00 p.m. each night.  No monologues.  We will read directly 
from the  script.  Auditions are open to  all. 

Synopsis:  On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday,  Catherine, a troubled 
young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but  unstable father 
Robert, once a renowned mathematician. Now, following his death,  she must deal 
with the aftermath, including the arrival of her estranged sister,  Claire, as 
well as the attentions of Hal, a former student of Robert's who hopes  to find 
valuable work in the 103 notebooks that he left behind.  Over the long weekend 
that follows, a  burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook 
draw Catherine  into the most difficult problem of all: how much of her 
father's genius -- or  madness -- will she inherit? 

Available  Roles: 

Catherine (25) - An emotionally volatile woman who  for five years has acted 
as sole caregiver to an ailing father. Though  intellectually dynamic, she has 
allowed herself to withdraw, her tart demeanor  masking an apprehension 
regarding interpersonal relationships and the  possibilities of life. 

Robert  (50s) - A widowed college professor whose mathematical skills brought 
him world  prominence. He is stern and precise by nature but also warm and 
considerate.  

Hal (28) - A former graduate student of Robert's, he is  interested in both 
investigating the work his professor left behind and pursuing  his affections 
for Catherine. 

Claire (29) - Stylish and  attractive, she is a bright and successful 
businesswoman who nevertheless has  long held an adversarial relationship with her 
sister Catherine. The geographic  absence from her father's immediate world 
brings some guilt and a renewed desire  to lend help. 

Proof will be directed by John  Birchler, who previously directed ‘ART’ for 
the Delta Xi Cast of Alpha Psi  Omega.  Production dates are  September 12, 13 
and 18-20, 2008.  For more information, contact the director at  347-2372.
