“Seminar,”
the sexy, smart new comedy starring Academy Award and Emmy Award-nominee Jeff
Goldblum opens October 17 at 8 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson
Theatre. Directed by Obie Award-winner
Sam Gold, “Seminar” is by Pulitzer Prize finalist and “Smash” creator Theresa
Rebeck. Performances continue through November 18, 2012. (“Seminar” began previews October 10.)
In
“Seminar,” four aspiring young writers played by Aya Cash, Jennifer Ikeda, Greg
Keller and Lucas Near-Verbrugghe sign up for private writing classes taught by
an international literary figure played by Goldblum. 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 provocative new comedy.
The
production of “Seminar” at the Ahmanson features the complete Broadway design
team: set and costume design by
Tony Award-nominee and two-time Obie Award-winner David Zinn, lighting design
by Drama Desk Award-nominee Ben Stanton and original music and sound design by
two-time Drama Desk Award-winner John Gromada.
“Seminar” is
produced by Jeffrey Finn, Jill Furman, John N. Hart Jr., Patrick
Milling Smith, Roy Furman,
David Ian, David Mirvish, Amy Nauiokas and James
Spry.
