Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Proof, opens Wednesday
The Moscow Community Theatre=B9s production of the contemporary Pulitzer
Prize-winning drama Proof, by David Auburn, opens on Wednesday at the
Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in Moscow, with a pre-show reception hoste=
d
by MaryJanesFarm and Moscow Realty, from 6:00 pm =AD 7:15 pm at Falling Moon
Tattoo Studio on Main Street. Thanks to Elsie Sakuma and Laura Aichle of Wo=
k
N=B9 Roll Catering for their spirit, creativity and assistance, Mikey=B9s Gyros
for the no-host bar, and Landgrove Coffee of Troy, Idaho for providing
freshly-roasted coffee. Live music by Travis Silvers. The play begins at
7:30 pm. Tickets available at BookPeople and TicketsWest. Proof continues
through Sunday.
David Auburn=B9s Proof won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001, the same year that it
won Tony Awards for Auburn as playwright and Mary Louise Parker as best
actress. On Broadway, Parker played Catherine, daughter of mathematical
genius Robert, and herself potentially brilliant in mathematics. Kelly
Quinnett, known throughout the region for her performances in live theater,
in movies, and on television, plays the role of Catherine for the Moscow
Community Theatre.
Community members Dean Stewart, pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in
Moscow, and John Dickinson, Moscow City Council member, share the role of
Robert. Robert=B9s former graduate student Hal is played by John O=B9Hagan,
Master of Fine Arts student in Theatre at UI, and Michael Carpenter, a
Washington State University student majoring in English Education. Isabell=
a
Whitfield, MFA student at UI, plays Catherine=B9s older sister Claire. Erin
Palmer, a recent UI graduate in Psychology and Spanish, is Quinnett=B9s
understudy.
The title reflects the play=B9s themes in several ways. While the existence
of a mathematical proof is central to the script, Catherine must also prove
to herself and to those around her the levels of both her father Robert=B9s
brilliance and his mental illness, and the extent to which she may have
inherited either. At the same time, she is =B3proving=B2 (in the sense of
=B3testing=B2) her relationships with her sister Claire and with her father=B9s
former graduate student Hal. Four characters search on stage for their own
=B3proof=B2: of the validity of their choices in life, of their relationships
with one another, of the relationship between genius and madness.

Review by Mark Sells, Film Threat
Based on the best seller by Philip Roth, =B3The Human Stain=B2 is a
provocative illustration of public opinion at its worst. When an
esteemed classics professor is accused of a making a racist statement,
rather than analyze the facts and proceed cautiously, the university
forces him to resign. His career, marriage, and life are forever in
ruin. Academy Award winning director Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer)
assembles a terrific cast to relay the allegory of Coleman Silk, a
private man whose life is altered by a false sense of righteousness.
Tragically engaging, =B3The Human Stain=B2 is a somber look at cause and
effect; in particular, it=B9s a parable about how a society=B9s beliefs and
morals can mask the truth, sometimes for an entire lifetime.
Coleman Silk is a well-respected professor and dean of the prestigious
Athena College in small town New England. ... At 71 and nearing
retirement, however, things take an unexpected turn. During a routine
class, Silk innocently refers to two absent students as =B3spooks,=B2
ignorant of fact that the two students are black. Immediately, the
allegations of racism force Coleman to resign. But in the process, his
friends turn against him, his wife passes away from the strain, and he
begins a tumultuous affair with a 34-year-old janitor and postal worker
named Faunia Farley. ...
Living in misery after the death of his wife, Coleman seeks out Nathan
Zuckerman, a famed local author, who lives a quiet life in seclusion.
Knowing Zuckerman has been struggling to find that next great idea,
Coleman offers his story to help. Despite initial reservations,
Zuckerman comes to admire Coleman, learns about his passionate affair
with Faunia and his previous loves, his career as a boxer, his affinity
for big band music, as well as those who have grown to despise him. As
tension rises and secrets are revealed, many confrontations are
inevitable =AD between past and present. And on a wintery, back country
road, life and death are a human stain away. ...
