On Stage This Weekend - "Proof" and "Heart"

There are two great shows to choose from this weekend:

- Proof - Marshall's Theatre Alliance presents this drama about a woman who sacrifices herself for her brilliant father - but is he a genius, or is he mentally ill? The show runs Feb. 23 – 25 at 8 p.m. at the Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre. (I've been hearing rave reviews from friends - don't miss it!)

- A Piece of My Heart - Charleston Stage Company presents the drama at the Capitol Center Theatre at 123 Summers Street at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 23, 24, 25 and March 1, 2 and 3. Taken from actual interviews of Army nurses, Women’s Army Corp, USO performers and Red Cross volunteers, the play details a subject largely missing from the reams of material written about Vietnam, namely the women who served. Interweaving the stories of six women as they gather at the memorial wall in Washington to tell their stories and experience a heart wrenching atonement.
