The UW-La Crosse Department of Theatre Arts presents David Auburn’s Proof, a play focused on the chemistry of relationships in a family of brilliant mathematicians.
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Proof will play at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 16 and 17; and Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 22-24 with matinee performances at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18 and 25, in Toland Theatre, Center for the Arts, at 16th and Vine streets.
Compassionate and laced with humor, Proof explores the past and present world of Catherine, a brilliant young woman haunted by both the mathematical genius of her recently deceased father and the mental illness she fears that she may have inherited from him. However, when a mathematical proof of historic proportions is discovered within her father’s work, Catherine’s relationships with her controlling sister and a new romance fall apart. Through fear and distrust, Catherine struggles to mend the relationship she has with herself.
