Magnolia Productions and CHAOS Theatre Company present "Proof" by David Auburn

originally published: 05/31/2024

(LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- Magnolia Productions and CHAOS Theatre Company present Proof by David Auburn at New Jersey Repertory's Studio Theater across two weekends (May 31-June 2 and June 7-9, 2024). Proof was the winner of the 2001 Tony Award® for Best Play and Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind.

Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness—or genius—will she inherit?

The cast includes Christa Collier as Catherine; Matt Gochman as Hal; Sam Ambler as Claire; and Carl Hoffman as Robert. The production is directed by Armand Marino.

Tickets are $28 and available for purchase online.  Performances take place Friday, May 31 at 7:00pm; Saturday, June 1 at 7:00pm; Sunday, June 2 at 2:00pm; Friday, June 7 at 7:00pm; Saturday, June 8 at 7:00pm; and Sunday, June 9 at 2:00pm. New Jersey Repertory's Studio Theater is located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch, New Jersey.

Small

'Small' Brings Big Energy to George Street Playhouse

When thinking about occupations kids say they want when they get older, a list comes to mind – doctor, superhero, firefighter, etc. But not many would find their passion at the horse racing track and say they want to become a jockey. In "Small," an autobiographical play written and performed by Robert "Bobby" Montano, the story follows Montano as he races and fulfills his dream on the horse racing tracks of Long Island, New York. It does not stop there, however. The 90-minute play is a story of love, loss and more as Montano grapples with some difficult life decisions.
