"Proof" - by David Auburn

Directed by Sky Vogel

 

Audition dates: June 8 & 10 7-9pm

Performance dates: October 2 - 11

 

Synopsis

 

Life is, at its most basic, a series of problems, puzzles, equations to be
worked through. And in a sad irony, it's often the most adept minds that
have been the most incapable of finding their solutions. If anything like a
solution has ever existed in the first place.

 

On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a withdrawn, troubled woman, is
facing challenges coming at her all too fast and fierce: The abrupt end of
her role as caretaker to her once brilliant but lately mentally-unstable
father. The insistent help and unwanted guidance offered by her estranged
sister. The determined attention of a former student of her father's, his
loyalties not necessarily benign. 

 

Along with these comes the sudden appearance of a notebook, its pages filled
with scribblings that may illuminate a way forward, or reveal instead that
there's only darkness, and emptiness, ahead.

 

Character Breakdown

 

CATHERINE (20-25) - Smart, vulnerable, funny, sad. She is innately
optimistic but has grown tired and lost. Gifted, but has sacrificed years of
her prime to care for her father:

 

ROBERT (50s-60s) - Gentle, genial, deliberate, giving. A proud man, once a
world-renowned mathematician and teacher, he is descending into dementia.
His other child is:

 

CLAIRE (29) - Brisk, polished, charming, no-nonsense. A Type-A Manhattan
financial analyst, living with some regret at what and who she's neglected
along her way.

 

HAL (23-28) - Intellectual, casual, guileful, self-effacing. Former Ph.D.
student of Robert's, now in a teaching career and facing a life he expects
will be unexceptional.  

 

"Proof" - by David Auburn. Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the
