Proof
About This Event
Proof at the Booth Theatre assembles a mixed Broadway and screen cast — Adrienne Warren, Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jin Ha and Kara Young — each known for disciplined, text-driven work across stage and screen. Their combined backgrounds in contemporary musical theatre, ensemble discipline and precise, restrained acting point to a production oriented toward character and attentive listening rather than spectacle.
