10.  Spinning Into Butter by Rebecca Gilman

July 17-26th, 2008 at the 10th Street Theatre, 628 N. 10th St. Milwaukee, WI 53233.
The play takes place at the fictional Belmont College, a mostly white liberal arts school in Vermont. Simon Brick, one of the few African-American students, begins receiving hateful, racist notes. The all-white administration, including a dean named Sarah Daniels, scrambles to contain the problem and reassure parents that everything is under control. But Daniels, in a controversial scene, reveals her not-so-latent racism, calling blacks lazy, stupid, and scary.
