Proof
About This Event
Proof at the Booth Theatre assembles Ayo Edebiri, Don Cheadle, Jin Ha and Kara Young, performers who move between screen work and New York stages. Their shared emphasis on precision, attentive listening and ensemble discipline — with Young a two-time consecutive Tony winner — sets a restrained, stage-driven tone that privileges dramatic accumulation over showmanship.
