Upstate Theatre Presents Proof

Proof by David Auburn is a Pulitzer Prize-winning drama that centers on Catherine, a young woman struggling to cope with the recent death of her father, Robert, a brilliant mathematician whose genius was overshadowed by years of mental illness. As Catherine navigates grief, family tensions, and questions about her own future, the discovery of a groundbreaking mathematical proof raises doubts about its true author. The play explores themes of trust, genius, mental health, love, and the fine line between brilliance and instability.
