Praise and Reviews for SEMINAR

The audience and critics have spoken...hear what all the SEMINAR buzz is about.

"5 stars out of 5...a raucous comedy . . .  'Seminar' is a charmingly amusing delight and is one of the best comedies to play locally in far too long." 

- Chris Curcio, KBAQ Radio (Read full review here) 

"...very funny...Playwright Theresa Rebeck's script is razor sharp...well presented by a terrific ensemble...great fun..." 

- David Appleford, Valley Stages (Read full review here)

"...acid-etched comedy...this play is one you won't want to miss...Actors Theatre's production, with a crackerjack cast and taut direction...immediately yanks the audience into a tinderbox of jostling egos and sexual tension."

- Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic (Read full review here)

"SEMINAR is one tightly knit, fast-paced, engaging, and provocative comedy of mixed manners and artistic insights. A solid ensemble delivers Rebeck's rapid fire dialogue with bristling conviction and energy."

Ron May reprises his provocative and intense monologue that pulls back the curtain veiling America’s most mysterious technology icon with a wickedly funny tale of pride, beauty, lust and industrial design.

What the critics said about this powerful production:

"...seeing the play will also give those obsessive consumers a chance to experience Rom May give one of the finest theatrical and all-encompassing emotional performances seen on any valley stage this year, and that's more than the price of any obscenely expensive upgrade could ever be worth."

- David Appleford, KEZRadio (Read full review here) 



"...timely...trenchant...The red-hot topicality of the piece is not hte best reason to see it; rather, the genius of 'Agony and Ecstasy' is the way it gives emotional resonance to the news through the passion and wit of its narrator. It's a guilt trip. But thanks to Daisey's vivid writing and May's energeized performance, it's the most entertaining guilt trip I've ever had."
