Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Award for Best Play and Drama Desk for Best Play. David Auburn’s first play is a play about family, mental health and math. Catherine, a grad student in mathematics, has found a solution to a previously unsolvable proof. At the same time she has been caring for her father, a brilliant mathematician in decline. With the proof as a fulcrum, Catherine must come to terms with her discovery and her father’s legacy. This show contains foul language.
Notably: Today is Orson Welles’s birthday (1915), and we forgot to mention Flagler Beach mayor Suzie Johnston’s birthday yesterday. She turned 41.

“Our wetlands, Everglades, and conservation programs are under attack. A dangerous bill, SB 2508, was filed late in the session as a budget-conforming bill. These bills are meant to assist in the budgeting process, not meant for significant policy changes, as they are hard to amend and do not go through the traditional committee process.
The bill contains significant changes to conservation programs statewide that will negatively affect wetlands, wildlife, and the integrity of our conservation programs. Most egregious, there was only one opportunity for public input. FCV spoke out against the bill…”
