From, “So You Want to Become a Writer. . .” by Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal, 11/24/11:
“What's surprising and gratifying about "Seminar" is that Ms. Rebeck, a prolific playwright with a hit-or-miss average, should have connected so firmly with the dramatic ball this time at bat.” Like "The Understudy," her last play, "Seminar" is an intermission-free comedy that gets serious at the halfway point, and for all the shiny slickness of its surface, Ms. Rebeck has once again contrived to conjure up a stageful of too-clever-for-their-own-good characters who'll sneak right under your skin.”
Prolific: producing many works
Contrive: invent; fabricate
Conjure up: to present to the mind; to evoke [image
