Show dates are September 12, 13, 18, 19, 20.  Auditions will take place in
June, with rehearsals starting in July.  The Producer position is unpaid.
Anyone interested in producing is asked to contact officers at dx.ayw.org with
a theater resume of relevant information. We are hoping to fill the
Producerrole with someone from within our cast, however non-cast

be considered.  Previous experience is helpful, but not a requirement.

Proof is a play by David Auburn. It won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
> and the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play.
>
> The play concerns Catherine, the daughter of Robert, a recently deceased
> mathematical genius and professor at the University of Chicago, and her
> struggle with mathematical genius and mental illness. Catherine had cared
> for her father through a lengthy mental illness. Upon Robert's death, his
> ex-graduate student Hal discovers a paradigm-shifting proof about prime
> numbers in Robert's office. The title refers both to that proof and to the
> play's central question: Can Catherine prove the proof's authorship? Along
> with proving the proof, the daughter also finds herself in a relationship
> with 28-year-old Hal. Throughout, the play explores Catherine's fear of
> following in her father's footsteps, both mathematically and mentally.
>
> Proof was originally produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club on May 23,
> 2000. It then went to Broadway on October 24, 2000 at the Walter Kerr
> Theatre. Directed by Daniel Sullivan, with Mary-Louise Parker as Catherine,
> Larry Bryggman as Robert, Ben Shenkman as Hal, and Johanna Day as Claire.
> Mary-Louise Parker won the Tony Award for her performance. Later during the
> Broadway run, Jennifer Jason Leigh (September 13, 2001 to June 30, 2002) and
> Anne Heche took over the lead role. Josh Hamilton and Neil Patrick Harris
> subsequently played the role of Hal. (Source: Wikipedia)
