‘It’s gonna take a lot for me to get in; I can’t afford to play nice.’

They’re the most prestigious universities in America: Harvard. Princeton. Yale. Columbia. Brown. Cornell. UPenn. Dartmouth.

And all eight release their admissions decisions on the same day.

In an American high school, six friends await the release of admissions decisions. But tension grows as the hour passes, forcing them to grapple with the pressures and prejudices driving their desire to get into the Ivy League. ‘Succession’ meets the petty dramas of high school, Ivy Day is a sharp and darkly funny interrogation of elite higher education.

Ivy Day previously received a rehearsed reading at The Space Theatre during their ScriptSpace season, and a sold-out performance at The Golden Goose Theatre in 2024.

Writer/Director Arianna Muñoz is an Off West End nominated-theatremaker and Nicholl Fellowship semifinalist. Other writing includes #Edit (Hope Theatre, Theatre Deli) and her debut feature screenplay, Mary Shelley (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences).
