PROOF
November 19-December 6

Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: There’s her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: How much of her father’s madness – or genius – will Catherine inherit? PROOF makes a limited return to Broadway this spring, and 2nd Gen is thrilled to bring it directly to Buffalo audiences.

Winner of 5 awards for Best Play in 2001, including the Tony Award for Best Play. Directed by 2nd Gen’s Executive Director, Kristin Bentley, Starring Matt Witten and Lauren Farrow
