"David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize winning Proof is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonating drama that explores the intricate connections among mathematics, mental health, trust, and family relationships. At its heart, the play considers what it means to inherit not only a parent's brilliance, but also the fears, vulnerabilities, and emotional burdens that can accompany it. With sensitive direction and a compelling cast, including an emotionally searing performance from Kate Mansi, Arizona Theatre Company's superb production of the Tony-winning play brings these layered themes to life in a thoughtful and engaging way." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"Arizona Theatre Company’s (ATC) season opener, “Proof,” brings multiple elements together to create an exciting and dynamic production. First is the play, a 2000 Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony Award honoree David Auburn play about mathematicians working out theories within the context of solving complicated family and personal battles that have played out without resolutions for years. The play marks the ATC debut of acclaimed movie and television performer Kate Mansi portraying Catherine, the central character. “Proof” also marks the return of longtime ATC artistic director David Ira Goldstein to brilliantly stage the production. These stellar elements combine to craft a winning creation of a popular and timely play that is rich artistically and leaves theatergoers thinking seriously about inner relationships among colleagues and relatives. ATC’s “Proof” is outstanding and meaningful theater that deserves the attention of local theatergoers who cherish fine productions of significant plays." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
"Kate Mansi is extraordinary as Catherine, whose intelligence is matched by an emotional vulnerability that she cannot always explain, much less control. Having devoted years of her life to caring for her brilliant but increasingly troubled father, Catherine faces the unsettling possibility that she inherited her father’s gift and, with it, his illness." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
