Remember how the college admissions scandal made national headlines for days and days?

Debuting in the weeks following the college admissions scandal took the nation by storm, “Ranked” tells the story of a dystopian world where competition reaches new heights as publicized academic excellence defines each student’s worth.
The production of “Ranked,” featuring not only the Patriot Theater Company but also Technical Theater Class, Thespians, Stagecrafters Club and Company List, will debut on Friday with a 7 p.m. show in the West Auditorium (2206). There are also two shows (2 p.m. and 7 p.m.) on Saturday in the West Auditorium as well.
