A new comedy by Richard Dresser

Annie and Neil have placed their hopes and dreams on the shoulders of Jodi, their bright and high-achieving 18-year-old daughter. Their own regrets and slightly diminished lives will be transformed if only Jodi can get into the right college. But Jodi has other ideas. She completes her college application but doesn't send it in. Annie goes off to her college reunion where a classmate who had a passionate and unrequited crush on her in college, is now on the admissions board. This troubled, lovesick man just might be able to get Jodi into college. It will be a test of what Annie is willing to do for her beloved daughter. The Pursuit of Happiness is about a culture run amok with bare-fanged competition and a crazed obsession with achievement.
