PROOF (Broadway)
CATHERINE (CAST)
Seeking understudy for this role: Mid 20s. Black. Fiercely intelligent, with a sharp wit. Emotionally volatile, swinging between defiance and vulnerability. She’s devoted recent years to caring for her brilliant but declining father. This has been a lonely and isolating existence, which made her distrustful of others, and uncertain about her own future and sanity. Intellectually gifted and self-confident, but deeply insecure of how she may be viewed.
ROLE TO BE PLAYED BY AYO EDEBIRI
ROBERT (CAST)
Seeking understudy for this role: Late 50s-Mid 60s. Black. A legendary and once-revolutionary mathematician whose groundbreaking work redefined the field. Charismatic, intense, with a commanding intellect which has begun to erode. Alternates between lucidity and confusion, pride and self-doubt. His relationship with Catherine is deeply loving, admiring and proud, but complicated by his illness and his dependence on her.
ROLE TO BE PLAYED BY DON CHEADLE
HAL (CAST)
Seeking understudy for this role: Late 20s. Korean-American. One of Robert’s former graduate students, now a young math professor. Earnest, somewhat awkward, and deeply respectful of Robert’s genius. Has a real passion for mathematics, but has an underlying fear that his own work will never match his mentor’s. His professional ambition gets complicated by his increasing interest in Catherine.
ROLE TO BE PLAYED BY JIN HA
CLAIRE (CAST)
Seeking understudy for this role: Early 30s. Black. Catherine’s older sister, practical and successful, lives in NYC where she works in finance. She cares deeply for Catherine’s well being, and while well-intentioned, she can seem controlling in her attempts to steer Catherine toward solutions that make sense to her, but not to Catherine. Claire’s overly directive behavior comes from her love and deep care for her sister, and her anxieties about Catherine's stability.
