The Lincoln Center Theater production of Joshua Harmon's Admissions has been extended through Sunday, May 6. The play, directed by Daniel Aukin, opened March 12.

Admissions features Ben Edelman (Significant Other), Andrew Garman (Salome), Jessica Hecht (The Price), Ann McDonough (Dinner at Eight), and Sally Murphy (August: Osage County).

In Admissions, Sherri Rosen-Mason (Hecht) is head of the admissions department at the Hillcrest School, fighting to diversify the student body. Alongside her husband (Garman), the school's headmaster, they've largely succeeded in bringing a stodgy institution into the 21st century. But when their only son (Edelman) sets his sights on an Ivy League university, personal ambition collides with progressive values.

The show features sets by Riccardo Hernandez, costumes by Toni-Leslie James, lighting by Mark Barton, and sound by Ryan Rumery.
