The world premiere of Joshua Harmon’s play Admissions has extended its Off-Broadway run at Lincoln Center Theater. Performances, originally scheduled through April 29, are now scheduled through May 6 in the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.
In the new drama by the Significant Other playwright, Jessica Hecht plays an admissions officer at an exclusive college prep school trying to combat institutionalized racism. Her son, played by Ben Edelman, sets his sights on an Ivy League university, causing his parents' progressive values to clash with his personal ambitions.
