Auditions for Seminar by Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Laura Darling

Set in present-day New York City, Seminar follows four young writers — 
Kate, Martin, Douglas, and Izzy — and their professor, Leonard. Each 
student has paid Leonard $5,000 for a ten-week writing seminar to be 
held in Kate's Upper West Side apartment to improve their craft. As 
tensions arise and romance falls, they clash over their writing, their 
relations, and their futures.

Available roles:
Leonard: (Male, 50+) The seminar's professor, he has long, dramatic 
history as a writer and can be a real jerk.
Martin: (Male, 20's-30's) A writer who is struggling financially. He is 
afraid to show his work to anyone but is very talented.
Douglas: (Male, 20's-30's) Nephew of a famous playwright. He can 
actually write, but is constantly accused of "name dropping." Sporty, 
"Alpha Male" energy.
Izzy: (Female, 20's-30's) Deemed a good writer from the beginning, she 
is overtly sexy and edgy.
Kate: (Female, 20's-30's) Her writing is immediately criticized. She 
constantly tries to prove herself and has never had to financially 
struggle. Likely reads way too many Jane Austen novels.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Auditioners 
should come prepared with a list of conflicts from November to February 
AND proof of vaccination status.

Rehearsals will be several times a week based upon availability.

Mandatory Tech week: Feb 5 - Feb 10
Shows: February 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20
Thurs – Sat 7:30 PM. Sundays 3:00 PM
