This spring, the City Island Theater Group is proud to present David Auburn’s acclaimed drama PROOF.

Often called a modern masterpiece, PROOF premiered on Broadway in the fall of 2000 and went on to play 917 performances winning the 2001 TONY AWARD for Best Play and the 2001 PULITZER PRIZE for Best Drama. This remarkable play combines elements of mystery and surprise with old-fashioned storytelling to provide a compelling evening of theater.

Updating - The Ugly American begins in a South American country, where representatives of the US government become upset because a hooker apparently charges too much. Next the story appears all over the 24/7 news cycle.

The 1950's novel reviews the reason United States foreign diplomacy is failing. This updated startlingly lesson appears to be most serious in light of the dismal history of US relations with Latin American countries.
