Seminar

We just got back from seeing Seminar at the Beck Center.  That was powerful.   The show is billed as a comedy, but I think it's more of a drama.   It's played without an intermission.   4 writers in the making at private writing seminar with a thoroughly unpleasant teacher, who was once a big name in the business.   I laughed some, but mostly I felt angry.   I really just wanted to really deck the teacher for being so abusive, offensive, and mean.

Lessons gleaned from this show: 

• It is often about who you know.
• You have to go beyond your comfort zone.
• Sleeping with the teacher can get you places. (Yuck.)

It's an abusive show, but ultimately constructive with a happy ending.
