Written by David Auburn, “Proof” tells the story of a daughter trying to live beyond an ingrown relationship with her genius father. Catherine (Beth Wittig) has spent years taking care of her genius father, Robert (Christopher Halladay) ,following his mental breakdown. When Hal (Nathan Robinson), a former student, finds a brilliant mathematical proof in Robert’s office, questions arise about the origins of the work. Could the mentally instable Robert have momentarily harnessed the clarity necessary to produce the incredible document, or was it written by Catherine, a self-taught mathematician who left college to care for her father? Amid the search for truth, Catherine finds her most fragile relationships put to the test.

Happy Birthday!
I realize this has been a difficult time...
that’s no excuse. Don’t be lazy!
Just because I went bughouse doesn’t mean
you will.
It’s a point...but remember, I’m dead.
Sorry...did I wake you?
Come with me to New York.
You wrote this???
How did you know I was here?
There’s a great pasta place...
NO!!!
I’m sorry...I used to have a pretty good memory...
Happy Birthday...
Hal...could you tell me about it?

Maybe you’ll be better than your dad.
