PROOF.  This afternoon, we went to see "Proof," my husband and I, at Northeast State Community College.  It was a fine production of a play that opened on Broadway in 2000.  Last year, about this time, we  saw a Johnson City Community Theatre production of Shakespeare's "Anthony and Cleopatra."  Such wonderful theatre here in the Kingsport area!   But I suppose it's no wonder, since we're so close to Abingdon and the Barter Theatre.  Ashley King, who played the lead in "Proof" did an internship at Barter and is majoring in Theatre/Digital Media at East Tennessee State. 
      I was especially ijmpressed with the performance of Danielle Trinkie, an English major at Northeast State.  I had the pleasure of meeting her at one of the Night Writers Guild sessions.  I hope she'll be at the meeting tomorrow night.  I tried to talk her into transferring to Tenneswsee Wesleyan, but I'm afraid I didn't convince her.  But I'm sure she'll do well, wherever she goes.  She played in "The Wizard of Oz"  last year.  I'm sorry to have missed that.
    But I see from the NSCC website that "Godspell" is scheduled for their April production.  That's April 5-8.  Don't miss it.
