Maria Callas is teaching a master class in front of an audience (us). She's glamorous, commanding, larger than life—and drop-dead funny. Callas' first "victim" is Sophie, a ridiculous, overly-perky soprano. Sophie chooses to sing one of the most difficult arias, the sleepwalking scene from La Sonnambula—an aria that Callas made famous. Before the girl sings a note, Callas stops her. And now what has started out as a class has become a platform for Callas. She glories in her own career, dabbles in opera dish and flat-out seduces the audience.

"Terrence McNally's new play MASTER CLASS…will be talked about for years to come whenever people point to theater experiences that genuinely deserve to be labeled by the overused word "great." —The Hollywood Reporter.

"Get a ticket: MASTER CLASS is mesmerizing theater." —Star-Ledger.
