Tickets are $20 adults and $15 students, available at crtpalmcoast.com, by calling 386-585-9415, or at the venue just before showtime.

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.

Navy Bombing in the Ocala National Forest: Navy training schedules indicate that inert and live bombing will take place at the Pinecastle Range Complex located in the Ocala National Forest in coming days. Bombings at times can be heard in Flagler-Palm Coast. The bombings are scheduled as follows:

Monday, May 9 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)
Tuesday, May 10 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)
Wednesday, May 11 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)
Thursday, May 12 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)

During bombing periods wildlife may be temporarily displaced. Use extra caution when driving through the Ocala National forest and surrounding areas. Secure any items around your residence that could attract wildlife. Always be mindful of larger animals including black bears and practice bearwise measures. The telephone number for noise complaints is 1-800-874-5059, Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, Jacksonville, Fla. For additional information, call (904) 542-5588.

Notably: It was on this day in 1824 that Beethoven’s Ninth premiered in Vienna. Overplayed as its fourth movement may be, it remains an awesome musical experience, especially if you immerse yourself in it from first note to last. It is also Brahms’s birthday (1833), and it is Tchaikovsky’s birthday (1840). It is also the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania by German U-boat in the second year of the First World War. Woodrow Wilson howled at the allegedly cowardly act (nearly 1,200 lives were lost). But it was, in fact, an act of war: the Lusitania had been stuffed to the gills with weaponry, as later historians established. Finally, it is the anniversary of the ratification of the 27th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits Congress from giving itself a mid-term pay raise. Don;t tell the Palm Coast City Council.

The odd thing about pedantry, however is that it can’t be trusted. Many of the writers on this [best-sellers’] list are under the impression that if they do the factual spadework the fiction will dig itself in and hunker down solid and secure. The effect, unfortunately, is quite the opposite. It suggests that the writers are hanging on for grim life to what they know for fear of unleashing what they don’t know; they are frightened, in other words, of their own imagination. And they are right to be: they are up against one of the basic conditions of pulp.

–From “The Top Ten” by Anthony Lane, The New Yorker, June 27, 1994.
