   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
