 The Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) is excited to continue
the 2024-25 Season with David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play
Proof
November 15-17 at THE BLACK BOX. The four person play features New
York actors Ali Funkhouser as Catherine, Robbie Rescigno as Hal,
Lindsey White as Claire, and FPAC’s Nick Paone as Robert.

Catherine
has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert.
When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: there's her
estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father's
who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left
behind. And a further problem: how much of her father's madness - or
genius - will Catherine inherit? Directed by Nick Paone.

Patrons
are advised: Proof
deals
heavily with themes of grief, death, and dying and contains strong
language and some mature themes.

Proof
won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best
Play. A 2005 film adaptation was directed by John Madden, starring
Gwyneth Paltrow as Catherine, along with Anthony Hopkins, Hope Davis,
and Jake Gyllenhaal.

FPAC
is an Actors’ Equity Small Professional Theater company based at
THE BLACK BOX in downtown Franklin. Each season, FPAC produces
