04 Feb '19

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for PROOF Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS: 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 volatile 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 is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. Directed by: Olivia King Auditions will be held on Monday, February 25th and Wednesday, February 27th from 7-9pm TO SIGN UP FOR AUDITIONS - https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-proof <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-proof> Callbacks (if needed) will be Thursday, February 28th from 7-9pm. All roles are available. At this time, no actor stipends are available. All auditioners are asked to come prepared to cold read from the script. We also ask that you bring a current headshot and resume with you to auditions. Rehearsals will begin on March 4th and will typically run Sunday through Thursday evenings Performances: April 12th, 13th, 19th and 20th at 8pm and April 14th at 2pm CHARACTERS: Catherine (20s) - A young woman, 25 years old, who inherited much of her father's mathematical genius and, she fears, his "instability" as well; she gave up her life and schooling to take care of her father until his recent death. Claire (30s) - Catherine's older sister, a practical and business-minded woman who has been comfortably successful in her work and relationships. She left Robert and Catherine behind, distancing herself from the run-down family home of her youth. She left the family to make a new life for herself in New York City. Robert (50s-60s) - A recently deceased mathematician praised for his groundbreaking work in his youth, but whose later years were plagued by delusional mental illness; he is seen in Catherine's imagination and in flashbacks. Harold (Hal) Dobbs (20s-30s) - One of Robert's last Ph.D. students during the one year his idol and mentor's illness went into remission, at least enabling Robert to teach, if not continue his own creative mathematical work.
