Admit One, a new comedy by Wendy Yondorf, will have a world premiere on Thursday, Jan. 16 in New Jersey at the NJ Repertory Company theater in Long Branch.
Press notes describe the show this way:
Many a parent succumbs to hysteria when it comes time to getting their children into the best schools. Howard Everett is no exception, but he has a leg up being one of the wealthiest donors to the elite Giddings University, a hallowed gateway that assures access to the American Dream. What he does not anticipate, however, is that he is about to meet the admissions officer from hell with her own agenda and rules. With his child’s entire future at stake, just how far will a father go?
Admit One is directed by Karen Carpenter and stars two NJ Rep veterans, Ames Adamson and Catherine LeFrere. Scenic Design is by Jessica Parks, Costume Design by Patricia E. Doherty, Sound Design by Merek Royce Press, Lighting Design by Jill Nagle, Technical Director Michael “Rusty” Carroll and Stage Manager Jennifer Tardibuono.
