By Rebecca Gilman
Directed by Troy Siebels

Spinning Into Butter explores the dangers of both racism and political correctness in America today. When one of the few African American students at a small New England college begins receiving hate mail, the campus erupts, first with shock, then with mutual recrimination as faculty and students alike try to prove their own tolerance by condemning one another. At the center of this maelstrom is Sarah Daniels, the dean of students. Struggling to keep the lid on a pressure cooker of emotions, Sarah's examination of her own deeply-rooted beliefs leads to some surprising discoveries and painful insights, the consequences of which even she can't predict.

"It's a potent topic, and the playwright explores it with an admirable boldness as well as a nice leavening of humor."

"Rebecca Gilman's provocative new play tackles the issue of raciscm with fresh vitality while standing political correctness on its head."
