How far would you go to help your child get into college?
Bill and Sherri Mason, the headmaster and head of admissions respectively of Hillcrest, a New Hampshire boarding school thought they knew. Deeply committed to equality and diversity, Sherri has boosted the number of students of color at Hillcrest, but her commitment is put to the test when their son Charlie, an outstanding student who has dreamed of attending Yale since he was a child, learns his application has been deferred. Convinced that Yale based its decisions on race, Charlie claims to be a victim of reverse discrimination. As their son lashes out, Sherri and Bill are forced to confront just how far their commitment to equality really goes. Are they true disciples? Total hypocrites?
Friendships will be destroyed, futures redirected, and families brought to the breaking point in a funny, sharp-witted, devastating and shockingly blunt evening.
Like his two previous hits at Theater Wit, Bad Jews and Significant Other, Admissions promises to be a show about the perils of privilege and whiteness today you won't be able to stop talking about.
