SEARED is a new fit-for-foodies comedy by critically-acclaimed playwright THERESA REBECK (BERNHARDT/HAMLET) directed by Tony nominee MORITZ VON STUELPNAGEL (MCC's HAND TO GOD). Brilliant, hot-headed chef Harry scores a mention in a food magazine with his signature scallops, and his business partner Mike finally sees profits within reach. The only problem is Harry refuses to recreate his masterpiece for the masses. Mix in a shrewd restaurant consultant and a waiter with dreams of his own and it all goes to hell in this hilarious and insightful new play that asks us to consider where art ends and commerce begins. You've never seen (or smelled) a production quite like this. Audiences will be up close to the action of SEARED's working kitchen onstage in our intimate and flexible space.
Raúl Esparza, known for his Tony-nominated performances in shows like Company and Speed the Plow, also starred in the Off-Broadway production of Seared, showcasing his versatile talent beyond the Broadway stage.
