ACTING AUDITIONS
SET FOR “PROOF”
NEW BEDFORD, MA - - - Auditions for David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Proof” will be held at 7:30 p.m., June 15 at Your Theatre, Inc., 136 Rivet St. (at County St.) in the auditorium of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church. Director Dennis J. Amaral will be selecting two men and two women for the production that runs Sept. 14-24.
Tryouts will involve impromptu reading from the script. Actors wanting more information should call 508/993-0772.
The story explores how, after caring for her brilliant but unstable mathematician father (50's-60's), a troubled young woman (20's) must deal with her own volatile emotions, the arrival of her estranged sister (30's), and the attentions of her father's former student, now a college professor (late 20's-early 30's). When a disputed mathematical proof is found among her father's abandoned notebooks, she is forced to confront her family's twin legacies of madness and genius.
In addition to the Pulitzer, the play has won Tony, Outer Critics Circle, New York Drama Critics Circle, and Drama League Awards, among others.
