..because the critics are RAVING about "Proof"!

"When a perfect play meets a flawless production, the result is theatrical nirvana...The production is a riveting example of ensemble acting..." - Fran Heller

"Director Martin Friedman's...staging 
reflects the same simplicity, delicacy and fluidity that define a 
perfect proof. Best of all, he allows the extraordinary talent of his 
actors to speak for itself." - Bob Ableman

fascinating play being given a superb production...an experience not to be missed." - Christine Howey

"What happens when you combine a perfectly perceived script, which 
tells a meaningful story, and a gets masterfully staged show?   You get, Lakeland Theatre’s PROOF." - Roy Berko

… an exhilarating and assured new play by David Auburn 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.” NY Times

THE STORY:
The play, which opened in May, 2000, is fundamentally a mystery about the 
authorship of a particularly important proof, a mystery that is solved 
in the end; it is also, however, about the unravelable enigma of genius, and the toll it can take on those who are beset with it, aspire to it 
or merely live in its vicinity. 
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young 
woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a 
famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her 
own emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the 
attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find 
valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a 
mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of 
all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?

Proof opens on Friday, September 21 and runs through October 7, 2012--Friday through Sunday.

" When we think of the great American playwrights, we think of Arthur Miller 
and Eugene O'Neill and Lillian Hellman, in earlier generations; Wendy 
Wasserstein and Tony Kushner, Jon Robin Baitz and Donald Margulies 
today: They are always writing about big ideas and wrapping them in 
family squabbles that get us where we live. Welcome David Auburn to 
the club. PROOF is the one you won't want to miss this fall." —NY Magazine. 
"…combines elements of mystery and surprise with old-fashioned storytelling to 
provide a compelling evening of theatre…[PROOF is a] smart and 
compassionate play of ideas." NY Daily News. 
"PROOF surprises us with its aliveness…Mr. Auburn takes pleasure in 
knowledge…At the same time, he is unshowily fresh and humane, and he has written a lovely play." —NY Observer.
"[A] wonderfully funny…ambitiously constructed work…" —Variety.
