Proof
About This Event
Proof at the Booth Theatre brings together Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jin Ha and Kara Young. The cast pairs screen and stage names whose work is defined by restraint and close listening: Edebiri’s move from The Bear into stage direction, Cheadle’s quietly accumulative acting, Jin Ha’s ensemble-honed clarity from musicals, and Young’s consecutive Tony wins and steady Broadway presence.
