Proof by David Auburn
2024-08-24 19:30 - 22:00, 2024-08-25 19:30 - 22:00 | Green House Caberet, 1017 NE 2nd Street, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
Proof is the story of an enigmatic young woman, Catherine, her manipulative sister, their brilliant father, and an unexpected suitor. They are all pieces of the puzzle in the search for the truth behind a mysterious mathematical proof.
In Proof, the young but guarded Catherine grieves over the loss of her father, a famous mathematician who had become a legend at the local university for solving complicated proofs, and for suffering from dementia. Just as Catherine begins to give in to her fear that she, too, might suffer from her father’s condition, Catherine’s older sister Claire returns home to help “settle” family affairs and Hal, one of the father’s old students, starts to poke around the house. What Hal discovers in an old speckle-bound notebook brings to light a buried family secret.
It tests the sisters’ kinship as well as the romantic feelings growing between Catherine and Hal.
This poignant drama about love and reconciliation unfolds on the back porch of a house settled in a suburban university town, that is, like David Auburn’s writing, both simple and elegant.

Crater Lake National Park’s deep blue water and soaring caldera walls have long attracted people’s wonder and admiration. It is the deepest lake in the United States, with a depth of 1,943 feet. Crater Lake is also one of the cleanest and clearest bodies of water in the world. Largely pristine old-growth forests surround the lake and support a diversity of Cascades plants and wildlife.
