Elsa and Anna are sisters and princesses, but have grown up very differently despite living in the same castle. Anna has grown up curious and headstrong while Elsa has grown up living in fear of her own hidden powers. Things change when Elsa’s icy abilities erupt at her coronation, sending her fleeing for the mountains and blanketing the land in an eternal winter. It’s up to Anna with the help of her friends to reach Elsa and bring an end to their frozen world while bringing her sister back home.

  • Fri, Dec. 6 at 6:30pm*

PROOF Quick Review

PROOF presented by The Carnegie through Nov. 17. I attended the opening night performance.

Kate Mock Elliott as Clair & Katie Mitchell as Catherine. Mikki Schaffner Photography.

Director Torie Wiggins deftly leads her small but strong cast through this enjoyable production. The relationships between the four characters are honest and well-defined. The cast: Katie Mitchell as Catherine, Kate Mock Elliott as Catherine’s older sister Clair, Allen R. Middleton as their father Robert and Jared Earland as Robert’s former student Hal are definitely up to the demands of David Auburn’s engaging script.

Designer Doug Stock’s set depicting the rear of the family home is visually impressive and completely believable from the audience. I did feel that an additional element to sit on or lean against could have given the director more options in the blocking. The solid, supporting work of the production team creates a near-perfect environment for this story to be told.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5.
