![]() Read 120 reviewsĪlum: Work Culture: Priory emphasizes balance. If you have a daughter who is looking for a high school in the future, I highly recommend you take a look at Marymount!. These types of events really help the parents get to know one another and spend time with their daughter's friends. I love the events they offer such as the Father/daughter dance, Mother/daughter brunch, and the Father's BBQ on campus. They really get to know the students and help guide them every step of the way. Also, Marymount makes sure the students are on track for the college admissions process. Academically, the faculty is extremely attentive to the students and work with them if they need extra help or explanations. The young woman at Marymount really support one another and encourage each other to try new things. Socially she made many new friends, who all have different interests, personalities, and goals. By the way, his platinum blond hair is a masterstroke, and far scarier than anything in “Grey House.Parent: My daughter has completed her Freshman year at Marymount and I can't express enough how incredible the year was for her. He is also pretty spectacular at flipping his charm to deliver a most sinister Death. ![]() Eberhardt exudes charisma, and despite all of Emilio’s scab-picking, he grabs not only our attention but our sympathy. In the course of this evening spent on a friend’s porch (set by Arnulfo Maldonado), it’s obvious no one ever really knew the real Emilio. He is back in the States for a very short visit to open his new art installation (a swimming pool with soundscapes) and, much more important, to reopen some old wounds. The conversations are often “rambling,” the gravest sin according to these friends, but Jacobs-Jenkins uses those extended chats to set up a Big Reveal about his lead character: Emilio (Caleb Eberhardt) is a biracial male who escaped America years ago to be an artist and have a kid in Germany. He creates the impression that “The Comeuppance” is just a bunch of friends sitting around taking, getting drunk and then stoned and fighting and even making out along the way. These soliloquy moments are especially startling because Eric Ting’s direction is otherwise so unobtrusive. Even those shaggy dog stories captivate as all the non sequiturs ram into each other to expose everything that can go wrong in two decades of living one’s life. The five friends make a gesture of breaking someone’s neck whenever one of them begins to ramble, which all of them are prone to do. Any theatergoer should be happy just to hear dialogue that takes a left just when you expect the chatter to turn right. Jacobs-Jenkins focuses on a group of honor students who used to call themselves the Multi-Ethnic Reject Group, or MERGE for short. “The Comeuppance” had its world premiere Monday at the Signature Theatre. ![]() What is it about high school that breeds such addictive, lethal curiosity? The desire to witness a well-deserved revenge on the Classmate Most Likely to Succeed is the lowest of emotions sparked by such infrequent get-togethers, which is why Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins has picked the perfect title for his fascinating new play. Fortunately, five minutes into “The Comeuppance,” you will relax, forget about the need for a break, and simply eavesdrop in the most rumormonger fashion as five friends plan how they will observe their 20th high school reunion. The only bummer is the announcement that no one will be seated after the two-hour and 10-minute play, which is “performed without intermission,” has begun.
