#AmyAndTheOrphans ‪@RTC_NYC‬ is very funny & entertaining while addressing issues that are not often explored on stage. Jamie Brewer, Debra Monk & Mark Blum shine in this finely staged production.

Josh Harmon's new play "Admissions" at Lincoln Center's  Mitzi Newhouse Theater explores racial issues in education in a manner that lacks credibility and feels holllow at its core.  Having liked some of Harmon's prior work, this play was a big disappointment in terms of writing and some of the acting.  The play raises some interesting issues, but fails to explore them in a genuine or nuanced way.
