REHEARSALS BEGIN FOR "PROOF"


At 6 PM tonight four extraordianry actors will gather at The Rep offices for the first read-through of David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play PROOF. The Director for this exciting production is Oregon Shakespeare Festival veteran PAT PATTON, who many will remember as Director of last season's critically acclaimed production of THE GLASS MENAGERIE.

In keeping with Rep tradition, the production designers will also make a presentation this evening about the set, costume and lighting decisions for PROOF. Many members of our Board of Directors will attend the reading and you are invited as well. It's always fascinating to compare the first reading with the results on opening night! If you'd like to be here tonight, just call Alan at The Rep for details (541-343-9903).

The four actors for PROOF are: WESLEY BISHOP (Robert), returning to The Rep for the first time since his performance as Morgan in THE DRAWER BOY in 2005; KATE COOK (Catherine), making her Rep debut; QUINN MATTFELD (Hal), making his third appearance with The Rep, having been seen previously in MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM in 2002 and THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE (Abridged) in 2003; MEGAN SMITH (Claire) makes her fourth appearance for The Rep having worked previosly in ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD in 1999, WOODY GUTHRIE'S AMERICAN SONG in 2000 and THE COMEDY OF ERRORS in 2001.
