Michael Trotta Introduces Readers to an Futuristic Possibility in SON OF MAN

Genetic engineering technology in today's society has already reached an advanced point where moral considerations are just as important as the science in itself. It is no longer just a matter of the ability to achieve sophisticated methods in screening human embryos, rather a deeper introspection must be considered when it comes to sociological and ethical impact.

BWW Reviews: Cast Thrives in Uneven, But Intense SEMINAR at Actor's Express

Like on her Broadway-themed television show 'Smash,' in 'Seminar,' running through June 16th at Actor's Express, Theresa Rebeck pulls away the curtain to revel the struggles required to create something for the enjoyment of others. Being able to see those struggles, both personal and creative, is a bit like seeing a sausage being stuffed; it can be ugly, but, if done well, the results are nonetheless appetizing. While Rebeck's script is mostly edge-of-your-seat exciting, it is riddled with lukewarm cliches. Thankfully, the superb cast compensates with deliciously rich performances. Directed by Suzi Award winner Freddie Ashley, 'Seminar' almost completely avoids the self-important tedium of a writer writing about writers who complain about how difficult writing is. (more...)
