Theatre--Performance

Cité des Arts theatre season continues with The Pulitzer Prize winning play, Proof.

Written by David Auburn and directed by Christy Leichty, Proof opens May 22nd for a three week run, closing on Saturday June 7th.

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman,
has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathe-matician. Now, 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), who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. 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?

WHERE: Cite Des Arts, 109 Vine Street, downtown Lafayette between
