SEARED
A Dramatic Comedy by Theresa Rebeck

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 Wilson 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.

Performance Dates:
Friday/Saturday, March 7 & 8: 7:30 pm
Sunday, March 9: 3 pm

Friday/Saturday, March 14 & 15: 7:30 pm
Sunday, March 16: 3 pm

Friday/Saturday, March 21 & 22: 7:30 pm
Sunday, March 23: 3 pm

Tickets $45-55

Note: While you may be overwhelmed with delicious smells from the on-stage kitchen, the cooking is for the purpose of the plot! No food will be served, however, the bar will be open both prior to the performance and during intermission.

IMPORTANT! Performances are NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THOSE WITH SEAFOOD ALLERGIES OR SENSITIVITIES as the play includes real-time cooking of scallops and salmon on stage.

Volunteer Spotlight for Dr. Jess Melman

At Lachat Town Farm, our volunteers are more than just helpers—they are the lifeblood of our organization. Their time, passion, and dedication keep the farm thriving, ensuring that every corner of Lachat remains a welcoming, vibrant space for the community. Among these incredible individuals, one volunteer stands out as a true barnyard hero—Dr. Jess of Bespoke Veterinary Services.

Dr. Jess has been with us since day one, selflessly giving her time, expertise, and care to ensure our beloved barnyard animals stay healthy and happy. From administering shots and trimming nails to treating illnesses and offering guidance, she does it all pro bono, out of pure love for the animals and the farm. Her commitment to Lachat and its furry residents is nothing short of extraordinary.

Our goats, rabbits, and other barnyard friends thrive under Dr. Jess’s watchful eye and skilled hands. Whether it’s a routine check-up or an unexpected need, she’s always there—lending a hand, offering advice, and making sure each animal gets the care it deserves. Her dedication not only ensures their well-being but also enriches the experience for every visitor who stops by to see them.

Dr. Jess, you are a true gem! Your generosity, kindness, and unwavering support mean the world to us. Thank you for being such an integral part of the Lachat family—we are beyond grateful for everything you do!
