King’s College Theatre Presents Pulitzer Prize-Winning Drama ‘Proof’

The King’s College Theatre Department will continue its 2025–26 Mainstage Season with Proof, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning drama by David Auburn. 

Directed by Theatre Department Chair Dave Reynolds, the production will run March 26–28 at 7:30 p.m. and March 28–29 at 2 p.m. The George P. Maffei II Theatre is located inside the Mulligan Physical Science Center at 133 N. River St., Wilkes-Barre. 

Set on the back porch of a Chicago home, Proof follows Catherine, the daughter of a once-renowned mathematician whose groundbreaking mind was consumed by mental illness. In the days following his death, Catherine must navigate grief, an estranged sister, and the attention of a former student searching through her father’s notebooks. When a mysterious mathematical proof emerges, Catherine must confront the question that haunts everyone around her: Did she inherit her father’s brilliance, his instability—or both? 

Blending sharp humor with emotional depth, Auburn’s acclaimed play explores family, legacy, trust and the fragile line between genius and madness.
