Proof
Proof is a poignant drama about
an enigmatic young woman,
Catherine;
her
manipulative
sister; their brilliant father; and
an unexpected suitor. They are all
pieces of the puzzle in the search
for the truth behind a mysterious
mathematical proof.
As the play opens, the young but guarded Catherine grieves over the loss of
her father, a famous mathematician who had become a legend at the local
university for solving complicated proofs, and for suffering from dementia.
Just as Catherine begins to give in to her fear that she, too, might suffer
from her father’s condition, Catherine’s older sister Claire returns home to
help “settle” family affairs and Hal, one of the father’s old students, starts
to poke around the house. What Hal discovers in an old speckle-bound
notebook brings to light a buried family secret that tests the sisters’ kinship
as well as the romantic feelings growing between Catherine and Hal.
Some themes intended for mature audiences.
Anne of Green Gables
When a high-spirited, red-headed orphan girl is sent to live with the
Cuthberts at Green Gables, they claim a mistake has been made since
they had asked for a boy. But before Marilla and her quiet brother
Matthew can send her back to the orphanage, Anne’s winsome ways
capture their hearts, and her winning personality and funny antics
captivate all who come to know her. Both players and audiences
alike will enjoy this beautiful adaptation of Anne’s adventures from
childhood to maturity.
