The subject matter made <strong>the</strong> musical<br />

ideal for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Princeton</strong> Preview weekends<br />

in April, when admitted high<br />

school students visited campus. “It<br />

gives incoming students a great sense<br />

of <strong>the</strong> creative opportunities <strong>the</strong>y could<br />

have here — <strong>the</strong>y could do anything<br />

from acting to writing to directing,”<br />

explained Daniel Rattner ’13, Theatre<br />

Intime’s general manager.<br />

Though Admissions depicts applying<br />

to college in <strong>the</strong> age of <strong>the</strong> Common<br />

Application and websites like College<br />

Confidential, Rai<strong>the</strong>l said <strong>the</strong> process is<br />

a timeless one. “On some level, applying<br />

to college hasn’t changed — it still<br />

forces young adults to define <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

and to market <strong>the</strong>mselves, and I<br />

remember feeling very overwhelmed.”<br />

The writers hope that Admissions<br />

might have a second life after <strong>Princeton</strong>,<br />

but <strong>the</strong>y aren’t in any rush to get it<br />

published. “We need to figure out our<br />

own lives before we figure out what’s<br />

going to happen to this play,” Rai<strong>the</strong>l<br />

said. π By Julia Bumke ’13<br />

Campusnotebook<br />

The <strong>University</strong>’s Bee Team – students who maintain two beehives on <strong>the</strong> West Windsor fields – paid<br />

a visit to <strong>the</strong> White House April 13. They collected tips from White House beekeeper Charlie Brandts<br />

(above, left) and left jars of <strong>Princeton</strong> honey for first lady Michelle Obama ’85 and for White House<br />

staff members. Rocky Semmes ’79 sponsored <strong>the</strong> trip after learning that Obama had included a<br />

beehive in <strong>the</strong> White House Kitchen Garden.<br />
