In GETTING IN, the autobiographical play by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner Frank Gilroy (The Subject Was Roses), a scrappy GI gleefully recalls how he went from truancy, almost flunking out of high school, and the trenches of WWII to Dartmouth College courtesy of the GI Bill that changed his life.  

GETTING IN is a short play with a long cast of eleven talented actors - David Beach, Kim Bendheim, Matthew Cowles, Caroline Gilroy, Michael Godere, Carter Hudson, Lillian Laserson, Thomas Lyons, David Margulies, Fiana Toibin and Jack Wetherall! The play’s director, Claudia Catania, joins playwright Frank Gilroy for a lively conversation after the play.
