Sherri has built her career promoting diversity and inclusion at an elite American prep school. But when an Ivy League admissions decision doesn’t go the way her family expects, deeply held beliefs are put under intense pressure. As private loyalties collide with public principles, dinner-table debates become battlegrounds and uncomfortable truths are impossible to ignore.

Joshua Harmon’s acclaimed satire is as funny as it is fearless, tackling privilege, race and identity with wit, intelligence and remarkable honesty. Winner of the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play, Admissions offers no easy answers. Are you brave enough to challenge your own assumptions?
