Pine Tree Players is excited to announce a casting call for Seminar, a provocative Broadway comedy by Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck. Auditions will take place on August 19 and 22, 2024, and we’re looking for talented individuals to fill multiple roles!
In Seminar, four aspiring novelists enroll in a private writing class with Leonard, an acclaimed literary figure. Under his unorthodox, often brutal guidance, tensions rise as alliances form and break, hearts are tested, and the battle of wits escalates. The play promises sharp humor, compelling characters, and intense moments.
Performance dates are set for November 20, 2024. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this captivating production!

Auditioning with Pine Tree Players is a welcoming experience! This article gives you information on what to expect and tips on how to prepare. We can’t wait to see you shine!
