Proof
David Auburn

Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a renowned mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, compounded by the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and the attention of Hal, her father’s former student who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks left behind. Over a long weekend, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a cryptic notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness, or genius will she inherit?

David Auburn’s Proof won both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play.

F. Andrew Leslie, from the novel by Shirley Jackson

Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its foreboding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of an investigator whose mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces which have made it uninhabitable for many years. He is joined by three others, all unacquainted. Their visit begins with jovial informality, but their sensibilities are soon jolted by strange and eerie occurrences. Inspired by both the classic novel and the acclaimed Netflix series, Haunting of Hill House creates a night of supernatural thrills and unforgettable drama.

Enter the twisted halls of Hill House as the Williams Theatre is transformed into an eerie haunted house to immerse guests in the thrill of this frightening mystery. Join us this Halloween in the eerily transformed theatre to step into the world of Haunting of Hill House, and for a spine-chilling night of supernatural suspense.

Mike Epps is generating an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers for being not only one of the funniest comic actors in town, but also for his burgeoning dramatic talent.
One of Mike’s recent projects includes Season Five of the Netflix comedy “The Upshaws,” which he stars in and executive produced. Mike is also in the 2024 Amazon MGM comedy “The Underdoggs” along with star and director Snoop Dogg, George Lopez, and Tika Sumpter. Epps’ seventh stand-up special, “Ready to Sell Out,” premiered on Netflix in February 2024, with the New York Times calling him “unquestionably a star”.
He is also currently on a national stand-up tour. Since 2000, Epps steadily climbed his way up the stand-up comedy ranks when he was recognized by a national audience in 1995 for appearing on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam (which, years later, he would go on to host). During a performance at LA’s Comedy Store, Epps caught the attention of Ice Cube. Epps has been seen in over 40 cities and 3 continents doing standup.
