PROOF Is Next Up at Franklin Performing Arts Company
The show will run November 15-17 at the Black Box.
The Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will continue the 2024-25 Season with David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Proof November 15-17 at THE BLACK BOX. The four person play features New York actors Ali Funkhouser as Catherine, Robbie Rescigno as Hal, Lindsey White as Claire, and FPAC’s Nick Paone as Robert.
Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: there's her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: how much of her father's madness - or genius - will Catherine inherit? Directed by Nick Paone.
Patrons are advised: Proof deals heavily with themes of grief, death, and dying and contains strong language and some mature themes.
Proof won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. A 2005 film adaptation was directed by John Madden, starring Gwyneth Paltrow as Catherine, along with Anthony Hopkins, Hope Davis, and Jake Gyllenhaal.
