Proof
About This Event
The Booth Theatre production of Proof brings together Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jin Ha and Kara Young. Their combined backgrounds—Edebiri's screen-to-stage directing and attentive comic work, Cheadle's film and stage restraint, Jin Ha's ensemble-trained precision, and Young's consecutive Tony wins—point to a performance grounded in disciplined listening and careful dramatic control rather than showmanship.
