PROOF
A play by David Auburn
Produced by special arrangement with Dramatist Play Service, Inc
David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play is about 25-year-old Catherine who, following the death of her father, must face a number of long denied feelings and fears. Her Father, Robert, was a brilliant mathematician who crossed the delicate line from genius to insanity several years earlier, leaving Catherine as his sole care giver. Tensions run high as her sister Claire returns home for the funeral and Catherine navigates new feelings as a relationship develops between herself and Hal (a former student of her father’s). She must adjust to Robert’s death and come to grips with her fear that his mathematical genius, which she has inherited, may come at a dreadful price, that she may be fated to the same mental instability of her father.
The content of this play may result in some emotional distress. We would like to share a friendly reminder that Counseling Services is available to all students who need help. Counseling Services is confidential and free of charge. To schedule an appointment or to get more information, please call (501) 450-1448.

Mission Statement
"Theatre is a clear window into the mind, the soul, the heart of humankind—the
study of which should be the aim of higher education. Theatre brings life to learning."
Jane Alexander, Actor
Chair, National Endowment for the Arts (1993-1997)
ATHE Conference 1997
Offering students the opportunity to seek answers is the mission of the department.
To that end we seek to accomplish these learning goals:
- To create an environment that is both rigorous and encouraging,
- To provide direct learning experiences in the classroom and
- To recognize indirect learning experiences outside of the classroom--intellectual,
emotional, and physical,
- To understand the need that each culture possesses for self-expression,
- To embrace the collaborative nature of the discipline.
