About the Show
Admissions: A Provocative Examination of Privilege and Progressive Values
“Admissions” is a thought-provoking satirical play that scrutinises the complexities of privilege, power, and progressive ideals within the context of the education system. Set in an elite New England preparatory school, the narrative revolves around Sherri Rosen-Mason, the head of admissions, and her husband Bill, the school’s principal.
The couple’s commitment to increasing diversity at their institution faces a critical test when their son’s Ivy League aspirations clash with their professed values. This conflict serves as a catalyst, exposing the tensions between personal ambition and social ideals.
Through its sharp wit and incisive commentary, “Admissions” challenges audiences to confront their own beliefs and biases. The play delves into the often-hypocritical nature of well-intentioned efforts to promote inclusivity, questioning the limits of individual sacrifice for societal change.
By blending caustic humour with serious social critique, “Admissions” offers a nuanced exploration of contemporary issues. It invites viewers to reflect on the true extent of their commitment to progressive values when personal interests are at stake, ultimately asking: How far are we willing to go to see the change we claim to want in the world?
