About the Play:

Seminar has long been a favourite of acting teachers for Female Monologues, Male Monologues, and Female/Male Scenes.

Seminar is a full-length comedy by Theresa Rebeck. Four young writers are thrilled to be participating in a private seminar taught by the brilliant but unpredictable Leonard, an international literary legend. But as Leonard deems some students more promising than others, tensions arise.

Seminar follows four aspiring novelists who take a ten-week private course in an Upper West Side apartment with Leonard, an internationally-known writer and editor. Under Leonard's recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction some students thrive while others flounder. The four become rivals – alliances are made and betrayed, sex is used as a weapon and hearts get broken. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting Broadway comedy of words. Seminar is a provocative comedy from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck.

Seminar premiered in 2011 at the Golden Theater on Broadway in New York City. The West Coast premiere was in 2012 at Center Theatre Group's Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. The play has become a favourite scene study vehicle in acting classes and workshops and been performed in regional repertory, college, and community theatre productions.
