“An impeccably built comedy. Destined to please crowds!” – THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

As caramelized onions and garlic fry up onstage, tempers are boiling over. Theresa Rebeck’s sizzling contemporary comedy, set in the kitchen of a boutique Brooklyn restaurant, wrestles hilariously with the conflict between art and commerce. We’re delighted to present this one-of-a-kind ‘workplace’ comedy in its Connecticut debut featuring actors Jasen Salvatore, Ricky Davis Jr., Melani Carrié and Brian Yeun in the state-of-the-art performance space at Lachat Town Farm.

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 play that asks us to consider where art ends and commerce begins. Seared premiered to great acclaim off-Broadway in 2019 and received four Outer Critics Circle awards.
