PROOF by David Auburn

Directed by Rose Ann Holman

Proof is the story of an enigmatic young woman, Catherine, her manipulative sister, their brilliant father, and an unexpected suitor.

They are all pieces of the puzzle in the search for the truth behind a mysterious mathematical proof. 

This poignant drama about love and reconciliation unfolds on the back porch of a house settled in a suburban university town, that is, like David Auburn’s writing, both simple and elegant.

Cry It Out

 by Molly Smith Metzler
