Proof
About This Event
At the Booth Theatre, Proof brings together Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jin Ha and Kara Young. The lineup pairs Edebiri’s screen-to-stage directing instincts and attentive listening, Cheadle’s restrained precision, Ha’s musically grounded discipline, and Young’s recent Tony-honored stage work, resulting in a production shaped by close ensemble playing rather than display.
