Proof
About This Event
Proof at the Booth Theatre brings Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jin Ha and Kara Young together onstage. The cast pairs screen-wise actors—Edebiri, known for The Bear and her directing work, and Cheadle, with awards and nominations across film, television and theatre—with stage-honed performers: Jin Ha, shaped by musicals such as Hamilton and Jesus Christ Superstar, and Kara Young, a two-time Tony winner (2024, 2025); their approaches favor precision and attentive listening over display.
