About the Play: 

Sherrie Rosen-Mason is head of the admissions department at a New England prep school, fighting to diversify the student body. Alongside her husband, the school’s headmaster, they have largely succeeded in bringing a stodgy institution into the twenty-first century. But when their only son sets his sights on an Ivy League university, personal ambition collides with their progressive values, producing convulsive results. Witty and incredibly present, Admissions is a no holds barred look at privilege, power, and the perils of hypocrisy.
