The Peninsula Drama Department's first production of the year, Proof, performs October 4-8.
In Proof, the young but guarded Catherine grieves over the loss of her father, a famous mathematician.
Catherine’s older sister Claire returns home to help “settle” family affairs and Hal, one of the father’s old students, starts to poke around the house. What Hal discovers in an old speckle-bound notebook brings to light a buried family secret.
It tests the sisters’ kinship as well as the romantic feelings growing between Catherine and Hal.
This poignant drama about love and reconciliation unfolds on the back porch of a house settled in a suburban university town.
Rated PG-13 for mature content, Proof is not appropriate for younger audiences.
Tickets are available now at www.peninsuladrama.com
