Seminar

There’s only one thing harder than writing your first novel.
Letting him read it.

“Writers in their natural state are about as civilized as feral cats”… so says Leonard, an indiscriminately relentless teacher who believes he wrote the book on what makes an author great. When four aspiring novelists sign up for his private writing class, they have no idea that they are about to get the schooling of their lives. From Pulitzer finalist Theresa Rebeck, comes a provocative comedy with a vicious bite that uses unwavering wit to peel back the layers of a hopeful artist and reveal the scarred humanity beneath.

“This fascinating world could have been played either strictly for conflict-generated laughs or as a dark parable. Neither approach, though, works as well as the realism devised by director Elina De Santos and her exemplary cast” — OC Register

“Here and there, in between the laughs, the put-downs and the absurd hilarity, it’s evident that people are more complex, more interesting, and in their own ways more wise than we first gave them credit for.” — People’s World

“Rebeck’s wildly entertaining five-character play is treated to a first-rate staging in its OC premiere.” — Acting Solo
