About Antique:
Raised by an eminent but emotionally withdrawn scholar, Grace Schaffer’s talent landed her a coveted spot on Antiques Roadshow, but she’s recently fallen from her gilded perch, losing her career, her marriage, and her very identity in the process. In a last-ditch attempt to revive her career, she signs on to an amateur traveling show, where an old, tarnished necklace catches her eye and imbues her with a strange and sudden confidence. As Grace struggles to find her own worth outside the comfort of marriage, the limelight of career, and even the necklace’s awesome power, she comes face to face with the hardest appraisal of all … herself.

About Seth Panitch:
Seth is a Professor of Theatre and directs the MFA Acting Program at the University of Alabama. Far more importantly, he is married to Laura Earnest Pantich, who does not seem to mind when he creeps upstairs to write, or when he lets their dog Moses use him as a jungle gym. Seth is a proud member of the Authors Guild, the Dramatists Guild of America, the Society of Directors and Choreographers, and the Illuminati—although he has steadfastly refused to have their name tattooed onto his chest.
