The Story
This provocative 90-minute drama won the 2018 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play and the 2018 Drama Desk Award for Best Play.
Sherri 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’ve 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 progressive values, with convulsive results. A no-holds-barred look at privilege, power, and the perils of hypocrisy.
