In SEMINAR, a provocative comedy from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck, four aspiring young novelists sign up for private writing classes with Leonard, a ruthless 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 Broadway comedy. Cast includes Travis Guillory, Abby Deger, André Trahan, Michelle D. Colón and featuring Cooper Helm as Leonard.

“FIVE STARS! Sexy, savvy and uproarious!” - David Cote, Time Out New York

“Theresa Rebeck hits plenty of bull’s-eyes, so sit back and enjoy the ride.” - Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
“The Funniest show on Broadway!” – Joan Hamberg, WOR Radio
