In the finale episode of Ms. Guidance: Only one obstacle stands between Jenny and her dream role – herself. Porsche deals with some unexpected consequences. Timothy lies for the first time in his entire life.

In the latest episode of Ms. Guidance: Jenny has turned over a new leaf, or at least thatʼs what she wants everyone to think.

In the latest episode of Ms. Guidance: The Loch Hill school board calls an emergency disciplinary hearing to decide what to do about GNATʼs subversive marketing campaign for their summer show. Bethany and Pistolʼs jobs are in jeopardy. So is Jennyʼs, but sheʼs more concerned with using her recent media exposure to relaunch her acting career. Timothyʼs earnest efforts to save the day are complicated by the arrival of Walkerʼs overprotective and aggressive manager, Claudio.

In the latest episode of Ms. Guidance: A video of Jennyʼs drunken rampage at a local restaurant goes viral, threatening not only her job, but Lillianʼs as well. Timothy uses wisdom from his commune upbringing to coach Walker through a dark moment. Bethany and Pistol fight over what play to pick for their theatre companyʼs (Great Neck Artistic Theatre, or GNAT) summer show.

In Episode 2 of Ms. Guidance: Loch Hillʼs most famous alum, struggling C-list actor Walker Pate, descends on the campus to bestow a generous scholarship to one lucky student.

The DC premiere of Theresa Rebeck's satire THE WAY OF THE WORLD is adapted from a Restoration-era classic by William Congreve, but it couldn't be more contemporary and on trend. With biting wit and visual flair, it delivers timeless social commentary for the Kardashian (and Trumpian) age. Can true love exist in a world so cynical and jaded?
