SUMMARY:Proof
DESCRIPTION:Stage 4th’s Proof is a Mandarin production with English subtitles of David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play. \nA notebook is found in an old house. Inside is a mathematical proof so extraordinary it could change the field. But who wrote it — the brilliant\, unraveling father who devoted his life to mathematics\, or the daughter who barely completed a few university courses? As the question deepens\, so does the play. Proof becomes more than a mystery about authorship. It is also about inheritance\, love\, pain\, and the fear of becoming the person who shaped you. In the end\, every character is searching for proof of something — truth\, worth\, or love.

SUMMARY:Franklinland
DESCRIPTION:Sure\, Benjamin Franklin may have been one of the greatest scientific minds of all time\, but that totally did not make him a great dad. What was it like to be the only son of this legend in his own time? Pressure\, much? With contemporary wit and a sharply critical perspective\, this irreverent comedy satirizes Franklin and his prodigious vanity\, poking at the tension that grows between cherished ideals—of family\, of an American republic—and their imperfect reality.

SUMMARY:Around the Kitchen Table: Crafting Connections
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the intrinsic connection between making and communication\, proposing the physical act of creation as a language in its own right. Rooted in gesture rather than speech\, the works consider how knowledge\, memory\, and care are transmitted through the hands—across generations\, cultures\, and stages of life. Shaped as much by lived experience as by material\, each piece positions making as both an intimate and communal act\, where meaning is formed through touch\, repetition\, and shared presence.
