Proof
By David Auburn
Directed by Elisabeth Humphrey
Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, the arrival of her estranged sister Claire, and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in her father's many notebooks. Over the weekend that follows, the discovery of a mysterious proof draws Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?

Elisabeth Humphrey
Elisabeth Humphrey is pleased to return to work with Front Row after stage managing last season's production of The Goat Or, Who is Sylvia? A junior in the College double-majoring in Theatre Arts and English, Elisabeth's love for hard-hitting drama was cemented during a theatre workshop in ninth grade when she was cast in Proof. Five years later, she is delighted to be making her directorial debut with the same play. An enthusiast of all things art related, Elisabeth spent the summer interning with Americans for the Arts, a non-profit arts advocacy organization, and in August, performed with the Penn Theatre Ensemble in the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. Also a proud member of Bloomers, Penn's all-female musical comedy troupe, Elisabeth feels blessed to be a part of such a vibrant theatre community.
