   THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON TO PRESENT PROOF

   Akron, OH – The University of Akron School of Dance, Theatre, and
Arts Administration presents Proof by David Auburn.  The production
is directed by UA professor Stephen Skiles. Performances will be Feb.
12-14 and 19-21 at 8 p.m., and Feb. 15 at 2 p.m. in Sandefur Theatre
in Guzzetta Hall, 139 Buchtel Ave., across from E.J. Thomas
Performing Arts Hall.

   Proof is an intriguing mix of mystery and mathematics that touches
on the elusiveness of life and love.  It involves four central
characters dealing with issues related to the nature of genius,
mental illness, love, and mistrust as they find themselves working to
“prove” who wrote a newly discovered mathematical proof.  First
produced on Broadway in 2000, Proof starred Mary Louise Parker in the
role of Catherine.  In 2001, the play won both the Pulitzer Prize
for Drama and the Tony for Best Play. 

   Bruce Weber, in the New York Times, called Proof "an exhilarating
and assured new play . . . that turns the esoteric world of higher
mathematics literally into a back porch drama, one that is as
accessible and compelling as a detective story." 

   Tickets are $12 general admission, $10 for seniors, UA
faculty/staff/retirees; and $6 for students. The ticket office opens
one hour before each performance. For reservation or more information
please call 330.972.7895 or visit our website at
