APPLICATION PENDING
play program


Well, The Travelling Toe and two Dear Friends are off again to see a play at Circle Theatre, located in the Downtown Area of Fort Worth.  The featured play was "Application Pending".  The play was written by Greg Edwards and Andy Sandberg.

The following synopsis is from Goggle website:


Christine Evans is a kindergarten assistant at Edgely Prep, an elite Manhattan private school with an acceptance rate that puts Harvard's to shame. On the day applications are due, Edgely's head of admissions is ousted in a scandal, and Christine is unexpectedly thrust into the job. With phones ringing off the hook, Christine must balance beleaguered applicants, venal administrators, and an army of parents who will stop at nothing to get their kids in. Winner of the 2015 Broadway World Award for Best Off-Broadway Play, "Application Pending" explores the cutthroat world of kindergarten admissions and what it ultimately means to be a good parent.



Janelle Lutz played Christine Evans who is the new Director of Pre-Primary Admissions at Edgely Preparatory Academy.

Janelle plays all the other parts as well...at least 30 or more simply changing her voice as each character becomes part of the play.  How she kept each character separate in her mind as the play continues on is amazing.  Each one is very distinct.















What a great way to close the 2017 season at Circle Theatre!
