Spinning Into Butter

Southern Rep Theatre kicks off its first season under new Artistic Director Ryan Rilette with the Louisiana premiere of Spinning into Butter by Rebecca Gilman. When an African American student reports that he has found racially threatening notes on his door, events are set spinning around Sarah Daniels, the new dean of students at a liberal arts college, who tries in vain to defuse the rapidly escalating whirlwind of emotions stirred up among the administrators and students. Lisa Jo Epstein directs.
