By Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Theodore Swetz
Co-Produced with UMKC Theatre

October 16 – November 10, 2013
In this dark and provocative comedy from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck four young New York City novelists (Kate, Izzy, Douglas and Martin) sign up for private writing classes with Leonard, an international literary figure. Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, some thrive and others flounder while learning what it takes to get ahead. Vicious wordplay, romance and biting comedy all become weapons as each student fights for success.
