KU Theatre to perform Tony-winning play 'Proof'

Solve the equation: One dead math genius, plus one dour daughter, multiplied by a budding mathematician and a well-to-do sister, divided by a plot twist or two. The answer materializes into the play "Proof."
"Proof" tells the story of Catherine, the 25-year-old daughter of Robert, a recently deceased mathematical genius. Catherine cared for her father through his debilitating mental illness and believes she
"Proof" is directed by Amanda Boyle, a third-year Ph.D. student from Lenexa. Casey McNamara did the scenic design and the lighting and costume designs were done by Jenifer Harmon. Both are second year MFA students from Kansas City, Mo.
This weekend, the University's Department of Theatre will present "Proof," a play by David Auburn. "Proof" won the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2001. The play will be performed on Oct. 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 5 at 2:30 p.m. in the Inge Theater. Advance tickets are $10 for KU students and $15 at the door. Tickets for adults are $15, $14 for seniors, and $10 for children.
may have inherited both his brilliant mathematical mind and mental instability. Hal, one of Robert's ex-students, discovers a monumental mathematical proof in Robert and Catherine's house. Catherine then claims she wrote the proof herself, not Robert. The plot plays out as Catherine tries to prove authorship and reclaim control of her life.

ANNA WENNER/KANSAS Hal (Josh Philoon) and Catherine (Abby Hadel) flirt during the first act of the play "Proof" by David Auburn. The play opens Friday.
Boyle said "Proof" is very realistic in the fact that there's no real villain or hero. Everyone is both good and bad. "When I sum it up, I say [the play] is about relationships, family, mental illness and the

line between genius and insanity" Boyle said.
"Proof" has a cast of only four actors. Boyle said the show has no small roles and that she needed four strong, talented, hardworking students. She said she feels very lucky to have people who were willing to jump in. Since it's such a small cast, Jaelyn Glennmeier, a freshman from Rose Hill, said she has gotten to know everyone rein math is very similar to the way we view theater," Boyle said. "We often think of math as being very clinical, but it's not. Talking with them made the play a little more human and real for us."
To check the accuracy of the play, Boyle brought in professors from the University's math department.

Finding a professional role model isn't always easy, but some students haven't had to look far for someone to emulate. Here are three University students who are following in the footsteps of their parents.
KRISTA SNYDER
Krista Snyder grew up with a view of classrooms that most kids don't get the chance to have. Her mom Cheryl, a teacher in Wichita, often had Krista help with simple tasks such as making name tags or hanging bulletin board decorations.
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER

Krista, a junior majoring in elementary education, said she hopes to teach first or third grade in a suburban elementary school once she graduates. Her mom said she is "thrilled" that Krista has chosen to teach, despite the challenges of the job.
"People don't become teachers to get rich," Cheryl said. "It's a hard job and something that goes home with you at night. Each child needs help in one area or another, and making sure you can cater to each of their needs is a challenge."
"I love working with younger kids" Krista said. "It's important for me to realize that my job will be helping give kids the building blocks they
Krista realizes some days will be harder than others, especially when working with kids with behavioral or developmental issues. But she believes she can make a positive difference in kids' lives.
Cheryl received an early childhood education degree from Butler Community College and teaches 3- and 4-year-olds at Wichita Collegiate, a private preparatory school. Cheryl says that one of the greatest challenges Krista will face is keeping up with the constantly changing education standards
"I've seen a lot of changes in public schools with No Child Left Behind and more core standards being implemented," Cheryl said. "Teachers constantly have to evolve and learn new methods to best be able to educate their students."
need for higher levels of education."
Though the job is indeed a challenge, both Krista and Cheryl are looking forward to Krista's eventual teaching debut.
"The most important things to take away from college aren't quantitative or tangible," said Becca Schmidt, a junior engineering student from Lenexa. "I need to walk away from my education with problem solving skills, communication skills, an ability to learn quickly and have it drilled into my brain that you have to work hard in order to
"My mom always encouraged me to become a teacher, because she knew I would like it," Krista said. "Because I loved going to her classroom and helping her growing up, I think she knew it would be a good fit for me."

achieve what you want."
Schmidt's father is a mechanical engineer himself, and has given his daughter that very advice.
Dan said he developed his own ability to problem solve which influenced his decision to pursue a career in engineering at Iowa State University. Becca said that seeing what her father did for a living piqued her interest, and ultimately resulted in her decision to pursue the same career.
problem by coming up with a clever way to connect the engine intake from one of their tractors so it provided a vacuum directly to the milking machines.
"I was around 9 years old and we had a terrible ice storm that destroyed many of the overhead power lines in much of northeast Iowa where I grew up," Dan said. "The power company advised it would be a week or more before electricity would be restored to our farm. This created many problems for a livestock farm like ours, but the biggest problem was we required electricity to milk our dairy cows." Dan said his father solved the
