Proof

Proof, by David Auburn, which opened on Broadway in 2000 and went on to win the year’s top prizes — the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama — debuts for the first time in the Palm Springs area at the award-winning Groves Cabin Theatre. The play is directed by Jim R. Warner, who won the Desert Theatre League’s award for Outstanding Director of a Drama for last year’s production of Visiting Mr. Green at Groves.

Proof is a heartwarming drama veiled in a thin gauze of mathematical theory. Catherine is a sarcastic, insecure math prodigy who gave up undergraduate life at Northwestern to care for her mentally ill father, a revered University of Chicago mathematician.
