Lowell Arts presents their latest theatre production of Proof by David Auburn, directed by Sam VanderVeen. The production opens April 10, 2026, and runs for two weekends in the gallery turned theatre located at 223 W Main Street in downtown Lowell.
"Proof is one of my favorite plays with one of my dream roles. It's a show layered with complex characters, subtext, and questions that I can't wait to explore. What should we do with the circumstances we inherit? Where is the line between insanity and genius? Come explore these questions with us in Proof. " – Sam VanderVeen, Director
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness—or genius—will she inherit?
