Catherine, a troubled woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant, unstable father, a renowned mathematician. After his death, she navigates her own emotions, the return 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 her father left behind. Catherine faces her most challenging problem: how much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit? ... a compelling evening of theatre… smart and compassionate play of ideas. - New York Daily News Tony Award® for Best Play, Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Drama Desk Award for Best Play

Founded in the spring of 2011, Compass Rose Theater is a small non-profit professional theater, which produces productions of the highest caliber. Driven by our passion to produce plays which leave the audience moved, and even transformed by the experience of the show, we hire actors and theater artists who are accomplished professionals to produce plays that range from classic to contemporary. Discovering the truth of each script, and striving to achieve excellence in each production, we hold ourselves to the standards. In April 2013, we relocated from our first home, a renovated storefront, moving to a former rug cleaners, which we rehabbed into a lobby, classroom, and 80 seat theater.
