The play features Kingston as Sherri, who is head of admissions at a private school, and who is very consciously, proudly, and vocally seeking to increase diversity and access in in the school.
We learn that Sherri's son Charlie, and Lewis, is best friend, have both applied for early admission to Yale, and are waiting to hear back.
When it turns out that Lewis has been accepted, and Charlie hasn't, things go rapidly downhill, as Charlie, and his parents, try to navigate how far they are willing to stick to their principles when it starts to involve personal sacrifice.
It lays bare a lot of uncomfortable truths, but it does it with style, and is very, very funny.
