UCA Theatre to present "Proof"

UCA Theatre will present ?Proof,? at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 16-19 on Centre Stage of the Snow Fine Arts Center.

Written by David Auburn, this 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winner for drama finds a young woman confronting her father’s legacy of genius and madness as she cares for him in his final years. After his death, the father’s protege finds a revolutionary mathematical proof among his papers. Did the father’s madness keep him from announcing his discovery or is the proof the work of his daughter?

?Proof? won the 2001 Tony for Best Play and featured Mary Louise Parker, who also won a Tony for Best Actress. The film version, featuring Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins, is scheduled for release later this year.

UCA faculty, staff, and students receive two tickets free with a current UCA I.D. Tickets are $8 each for the general public. Reservations are highly encouraged as all performances are expected to sell out and tickets may not be available at the door.

Please call Reynolds Ticket Central at 450-3265. Box Office hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Please note that even though tickets must be obtained from Reynolds Ticket Central, the performance will take place in the Snow Fine Arts Center.

Due to some language, the play is recommended for mature audiences.
