Higher Ground to Co-Produce Broadway's Proof Revival
Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground will co-produce Broadway's revival of Proof, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play by David Auburn, starring Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle. The strictly limited 16-week engagement at the Booth Theatre begins March 31, with an April 16 opening; Jin Ha and Samira Wiley also star, marking Higher Ground's Broadway debut. Producers Mike Bosner and Thomas Kail are leading the project, and the Obamas say Proof explores brilliance, doubt, and legacy while expanding Higher Ground's work from film/TV/podcasts into theater.
