SEMINAR
A Regional Premiere by Theresa Rebeck
September 27th - October 20th, 2013
Rehearsal begins approx. August 27th
There's no such thing as an easy A in this class. Fiction writing turns into a contact sport in this fast, funny, and provocative dramedy. Four aspiring young novelists find themselves in over their heads when they sign up for private writing classes with Leonard, a force of nature and
international literary figure. Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, the wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious. Idealism collides with reality in this biting Broadway hit from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck.
ANNAPURNA

Emma and Ulysses haven't laid eyes on each other in 20 years. Now she's back, lugging her matching suitcases into his squalid Colorado motor home for a final reckoning that neither of them saw coming. Desperate for answers about what drove them apart, these ex-spouses investigate love and loss in a gripping duet that is simultaneously shocking, comical, and heart-rending. Sharr White is a Boulder native, the author of last season's hit The Other Place, and one of the rising stars of American theatre.

I am not so enamoured of my own opinions that I disregard what others may think of them.- Nicolas Copernicus

This is the story of how it almost never happened. And the Sun Stood Still reveals Nicolas Copernicus as a man struggling to reconcile the disparate desires of his loved ones and the constraints of his faith as he contemplates challenging the most fundamental beliefs of his time. BETC is proud and honored to present the world premiere production of this new play from Pulitzer Finalist and award-winning novelist Dava Sobel.
