Pine Tree Players is excited to produce Semiar by Theresa Rebeck, directed by Lauren Hawkeye.
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 Broadway comedy.
Performances will take place at the Canmore Miners’ Union Hall November 20-24 and 28-30, 2024.
In person auditions will take place from 6-9pm on Thursday August 29 in Canmore. For the audition you will be asked to read excerpts from the script.
