About
SEARED by Theresa Rebeck
Harry – a culinary genius with a flare for the dramatic – receives a positive review in a food magazine for his signature scallops and his business partner can see their restaurant finally making money. The catch – Harry refuses to ever make the scallops again.
With a savvy restaurant consultant and a waiter with dreams of his own added to the mix – everything starts to ignite in flames in this hilarious and insightful new play that explores what happens when art and money collide.

CASTING BREAKDOWNS
All roles are open ethnicity unless otherwise stated.
We are able to cast a company of 4 actors and two understudies.
HARRY: Male, 30s +, any ethnicity
Head chef of a small struggling Park Slope restaurant; he is an arrogant, passionate, and hot-headed chef. It’s all about him – or more precisely, his food, what he decides to put on the menu and how to run his kitchen, and it just might be to the detriment of the business. He does not like compromise. For Harry, if it’s not about the right ingredients, the right food, then it’s not a part of his reality. Basic (or more) chef skills, especially knife (chopping etc.), a plus.
MIKE: Male, 30+, any ethnicity
The admin/money man of a small struggling Park Slope restaurant – and one of the waiters; he’s on his last nerve, bit of hope, and money – having sunk it all into the business. Secretly wishing he was the chef; Mike’s forte is for the business side of the biz – but the well is running dry. He’ll do whatever it takes, call it common sense to those in the restaurant business, to make the restaurant a success. Mike is not a pushover, but he struggles to “keep Harry in line” and the restaurant making money.
RODNEY: Male, 18+, Black
A New Yorker by birth; Rodney’s been a waiter with Harry and Mike since they opened – all while absorbing Chef Harry’s recipes and skills; he’s loyal to the restaurant – and to both Harry and Mike – and will step in when and where needed; it’s not just about the money for Rodney, it’s about the success of the restaurant and being a part of that.
EMILY: Female, 25+, any ethnicity
A large and in charge personality; a consultant to small businesses hired to help them survive and thrive, and she does it well; Emily’s the take charge type, in fact, she’ll take over if you let her; she wants to help, knows she can help, and doesn’t suffer fools while she’s helping.
