Audition for Proof by David Auburn

Proof is a Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning drama by David Auburn.

Catherine is the daughter of a recently deceased mathematical genius and professor at a nearby university. Catherine has cared for her father through a lengthy mental illness. Upon her father's death a paradigm-shifting proof about prime numbers is discovered in her father's office. Catherine claims authorship - but is she really capable of the calibre of work required?

The play explores our fears about what we inherit from our parents - as Catherine struggles with following in her father's footsteps, both mathematically and mentally and her desperate attempts to stay in control.
 
Seeking to cast all roles:

Catherine (mid 20s) - has given up her own dreams and aspirations to care for her mentally ill father.

Robert (50s) - a maths genius who has been struck by mental illness.

Hal (mid to late 20s) – a former student of Robert.

Claire (early 30s) - Catherine’s sister, who moved to New York City and returns to bury her father and care for her sister

The audition process will involve some readings from the script, and some improvisation exercises.

Performance season - late April.
