MAC Theater presents Proof

MAC Theater Presents Proof by David Auburn and directed by Rick Sherburne. The production will be at the MAC’s Anne Braitmayer Webb Theater at 80 Pleasant Street Marion.

Catherine has been dealing with a lot. For four years, she has been the sole caretaker for her father, Robert, a genius mathematician who was dealing with mental wellness. After his death, she’s left wondering if her advanced penchant for mathematics indicates an inclination toward mental illness in herself. This concern is shared by her sister, Claire, who encourages her to leave her family home and live with her in New York. Along the way, Catherine becomes involved with Hal, one of her father’s admirers and former students. Catherine is put in the position of proving that some of the mathematical genius left behind in Robert’s office were actually her own work.

Catherine is played by Emma Peterson, and MAC regular Donn Tyler takes a turn as Robert, Catherine’s father. Oliver Asker returns to the MAC as Hal, and Charlotte Baxter plays Claire. The play is stage-managed by Robert Mahowald, and the technical director is Steve McManus, with Jacob Sherburne as Set Designer.

The show dates are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from October 10 to October 26. Friday and Saturday curtain time is 7:30 pm and the Sunday matinee starts at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $20 MAC members and $23 for nonmembers More information and bookings are at marionartcenter.org/events/proof.
