Spinning Into Butter at The Stagecrafters

The story unfolds at Belmont, a tranquil liberal arts college in Vermont, where Sarah Daniels, Dean of Students, suddenly finds herself faced with a super-explosive situation after one of the handful of African-American students at the school has reported receiving hate mail. As threats and abrasive confrontations among faculty and students multiply, the narrative, with insight and wry humor, tracks Sarahs attempts to navigate a maze of posturing, accusations, and soul-searching on political correctness. The author exhibits a bold willingness to expose pervasive and long-standing racial tensions in an unremarkable setting.
