PROOF Set for Little Theatre of Manchester's Evenings@7 Series
Little Theater of Manchester's Evenings@7 series continues on May 10, with a reading of the drama Proof by David Auburn.
Evenings@7 offers FREE presentations of intimate script-in-hand play readings. Open to the public, these ONE-NIGHT ONLY performances are part of Little Theatre's mission to develop art and artists. This series, featuring both established plays and musicals and new works, enables local talent to grow in their craft by performing for live audiences in a casual atmosphere with minimal production elements.
The May 10 reading of Proof is produced and directed by Alysa Auriemma and will begin at 7:00 PM in the Silk Room at Cheney Hall, 177 Hartford Rd, Manchester. The event is free, although donations to support this type of work are gladly accepted.
Dinner will be available for purchase with advanced reservations. For dinner reservations and more information regarding Proof or the Evenings@7 series, call the Box Office at 860-647-9824.
Future 2016 Evenings@7 performances include June 14, Colonel Sellers: Reanimator, a "new" play by Mark Twain and William Dean Howells and revised by Jacques Lamarre; September 13, The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer and produced by Michael Forgetta; October 11, August: Osage County by Tracy Letts and produced by Linda Ferreira and Debi Freund; and November 15, See Alice Run a new play by Anne Pié.
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Proof focuses on Catherine, a troubled young woman who has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. 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. 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?
