synopsis
The heat is on in this sizzling new comedy! A brilliant but temperamental chef creates a dish so good it puts his struggling restaurant on the map, but success comes with a side of chaos. As business booms, egos clash and loyalties are tested in this fiery battle between passion and profit. Perfect for fans of The Bear, Seared is filled with sharp dialogue, mouthwatering stakes, and a feast for the senses. Audiences will be up close to the action as Austin Playhouse is transformed into the intimate kitchen of a New York City restaurant.
Live cooking happens on stage - including salmon. If you have any food allergy concerns, we encourage you to reach out to the Box Office before buying tickets. Seared takes place in a fast-paced professional kitchen and includes strong language and a brief sexual reference. Children under 5 are not permitted.
