The college is excited to present a reading of the play "Admissions" by Joshua Harmon on Thursday (11/14) at 7 p.m. in S-19 Mulholland Hall on our Saranac Lake campus. Featuring actors Fran Yardley, Laura Jean Swanson, Tyler Nye, Laura Menzie and Peter Corley, the play is directed by Beth Glover, who directed The Pathless Woods, which was performed last month at NCCC. This performance is free of charge and open to students, staff, faculty, and the public!

What's "Admissions" all about? 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. It's a no-holds-barred look at privilege, power, and the perils of hypocrisy.
