Catherine has spent years caring for her father who was a brilliant mathematician but struggled with mental illness."This is just a nice micro-chasm of how families deal with mental illness," says Fleckner.A mathematical proof has been discovered and no one knows who wrote it, or what it means."It's heartwarming. Hopefully, people will walk away from this knowing that healing can happen," says Fleckner.
While Stagecrafters Theater attracts actors from all over, all four actors in this production are local to Philadelphia. Located in Chestnut Hill since 1929, Stagecrafters has been a non-profit that educates the public about the literature of theater.
