Pitt-Johnstown Theatre Brings Down the Season Curtain with Tony-Award Production "Proof"

Article Body: The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Theatre Department brings down its season curtain with the production of David Auburn’s Proof, winner of the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play, as well as the Pulitzer Prize.

The production will be presented at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 1 through Saturday, June 3, and Thursday, June 8 through Saturday, June 10, in the Studio Theatre of the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on the UPJ campus.

Proof is the compelling story of Catherine, a troubled young woman who has been the caregiver for her father, a brilliant mathematician who suffers a mental breakdown. Catherine’s struggles are complicated by the arrival of one of her father’s protégés and her estranged sister.

The play is directed by Dr. Rodney Eatman, UPJ professor of theatre arts, with scenic design by James Moore, and lighting and sound design by Michael Feight. Costumes are by Linda Capp. The cast features Kevin Rozich, Aspen Mock, Elliott Wagner, and Melissa Vello.

Due to strong language, parental guidance is suggested.
