Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "Proof"
Casting actors for the "Proof" play. More details provided below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Catherine has lived alone with her father, who had once been a world-renowned mathematician, in order to care for him during a period of mental decline. But the nature of their conversations is starting to cause her to fear that she may share more with her father than a love of numbers. Complicating this is one of her father's former students, Hal, combing through his journals for something of value, while anxiously wondering if his own best days are behind him at 28. And Catherine's sister, Claire, who only wants the best for Catherine, though her motives may not be entirely unselfish. A poignant and surprisingly funny look at what we're willing to sacrifice for those we love. Rate: $1,200. Understudies and swings: $400 plus an additional $100 per performance.

4 roles
(Female Identifying) – who inherited much of her father’s mathematical genius and, she fears, his “instability” as well; she gave up her life and schooling to take care of her father until his recent death.
(Female Identifying)– Catherine’s older sister, a practical and business-minded woman who has been comfortably successful in her work and relationships. She left Robert and Catherine behind, distancing herself from the run-down family home of her youth. She left the family to make a new life for herself in New York City.
(Male Identifying) – A recently deceased mathematician praised for his groundbreaking work in his youth, but whose later years were plagued by delusional mental illness; he is seen in Catherine’s imagination and in flashbacks.
(Male Identifying)– One of Robert’s last Ph.D. students during the one year his idol and mentor’s illness went into remission, at least enabling Robert to teach, if not continue his own creative mathematical work.
