Jeff Goldblum stars in the play 'Seminar,' at the Ahmanson Theatre (Los Angeles) through November 18, 2012.
Academy Award and Emmy Award-nominee Jeff Goldblum will star in the sexy, smart, new comedy Seminar by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Peabody Award-winner Theresa Rebeck in the kickoff of the Ahmanson Theatre’s new season. Directed by Obie Award-winner Sam Gold, Seminar arrives in Los Angeles for its West Coast premiere directly from its hit Broadway run, where it was cheered as “... the funniest show on Broadway...” by WOR Radio, and called “...one of Rebeck’s best works...a wonderful new comedy...” by Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press.
In Seminar, four aspiring young writers sign up for private writing classes with Leonard (played by Goldblum), 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 provocative new comedy.
