Seared

Friday, September 20, 2024 to Sunday, October 06, 2024

Play by Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Margaret E. Hall

“An impeccably built comedy. Destined to please crowds!”–The Wall Street Journal

Brilliant, hot-headed chef Harry scores a mention in a food magazine with his signature dish, and his business partner Mike finally sees profits within reach. The only problem? Harry refuses to recreate his masterpiece for the masses. Mix in a shrewd restaurant consultant and a waiter with dreams of his own, and it all goes to hell in this hilarious and insightful new play that asks us to consider where art ends and commerce begins.
