Director Jim Cronin and Producer Tess Catlin invite you to join us as MCP presents Proof. Set in Chicago, the show follows Catherine, who is following in the footsteps of her father, Robert; a mathematical genius and professor. Add in a flirty graduate student, and a hyper-organized older sister and it equals one awe inspiring show.  

Proof is 2001 Pulitzer Prize winning drama written by David Auburn. Within one evening he explores the themes of genius and madness, the power of heredity vs the power of free will, and the question of which is greater –  trust or proof.
