Hart Jr. and Patrick Milling-Smith.[7] Set in present-day New York City, Seminar follows four young writers — Kate, Martin, Douglas, and Izzy — and their professor, Leonard.Each student has paid Leonard $5,000 for a ten-week writing seminar to be held in Kate's Upper West Side apartment.I felt an authentic rush of pleasure and the exhilaration of being reminded that in theater, art comes less from landing lines than [from] finding what lies between them.[9] David Rooney of the Hollywood Reporter found the play "tight, witty and consistently entertaining, acquiring more muscle as the layers are peeled back to reveal both the scarred humanity and the numbness beneath Leonard’s soured exterior.
