Open
auditions for the Performing Arts at Oakton production of Proof,
by David Auburn, are scheduled 6 - 9 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 24 and
Thursday, Jan. 25, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road,
Des Plaines.
Winner
of the 2001 Tony Award for best play, Proof is a tightly-woven
family drama set in Chicago. Embracing themes of love, loyalty, and
madness, the play centers on a young woman dealing with the death
of her father, a brilliant mathematician. In 2005, Proof was
released as a major motion picture starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony
Hopkins.
The
director is casting two men to play in their 20s and 50s and two women
to play in their mid-to-late 20s. Prepared monologues and cold readings
will be heard.
Proof
will be presented March 1 - 4, and March 8 - 11, at Oakton's Des Plaines
campus. For ticket information, call the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900.
