Seminar

by Theresa Rebeck / directed by Alicia Dempster

Main Stage | February 19,20 25,26,27 March 4,5,6 11,12 2016

In Seminar, a provocative comedy from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck, four aspiring young novelists sign up for private writing classes with Leonard, an international literary figure. Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, some thrive and others flounder, alliances are made and broken, sex is used as a weapon and hearts are unmoored. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting comedy that took Broadway by storm. Parental advisory: Seminar explores adult themes and language. It’s not recommended for children under 13.
