Current Season
Spinning into Butter
by Rebecca Gilman
October 25 - November 17, 2007
Sarah Daniels is beginning her second year as Dean of Students at a small private liberal-arts college in Vermont, when one student becomes the target of a hate crime. Each action Sarah takes to handle the situation only escalates the tension with the administration. Spinning Into Butter explores the dangers of racism and political correctness, while leading the audience to some surprising discoveries and painful insights.
