Admissions by Joshua Harmon at American Lives Theatre

Sherri Rosen-Mason (Bridget Haight), is the head of admissions at a New England prep school. Alongside her husband (Larry Sommers), who is the schoolmaster, they have largely succeeded in bringing a stodgy institution into the twenty-first century. But when their only son (Matthew Conwell) sets his sights on an Ivy League university, personal ambition collides with progressive values, with convulsive results. A no-holds-barred look at privilege, power, and the perils of hypocrisy. The cast also features Suzanne Fleenor and Valerie Nowosielski. Directed by Chris Saunders.
