I know that last year one of the one-act plays my school put on was called 'Admissions.'

Does anyone know the author?

I'd really like to be able to actually read it. I didn't get a chance to see it, but it was talked about a LOT. It apparantly involves someone facing judgment (like they are dead and being judged), and they are asked questions like "What did you do about AIDS?"

Eleanor is confused when she wakes up in a strange office. The last thing she remembers is washing the dining room windows. Then a patient and efficient lady from behind a desk tells Eleanor that she is dead. Eleanor must climb an emotional ladder in order to accept her fate. She first refuses to believe it. Then, after realizing the truth, she falls apart. But after pulling herself back together, she gives an accounting of her life. Within this verbal diary, a few "admissions" are told, parts of her past for which she still feels guilty. As she speaks, her memories come alive... especially one of a sad little girl Eleanor knew in grade school. The chance to relive one moment allows Eleanor to close the door on her own life, and face, with a sense of serenity, whatever comes next.
