<title>Preview: Spinning into Butter</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/8962/20070404/preview-spinning-into-butter</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 4, 2007) The play Spinning into Butter opens at St. Lawrence University tonight.  Theatre is often considered a great place to probe private feelings and public behavior, as audience members share a live experience with the actors.  Spinning into Butter, by Rebecca Gilman, explores not only hidden racism but the political correctness that prevents dialogue.  Director Ann Marie Halstead told Todd Moe that the show is based on a racist incident that occurred at a predominantly white college in Vermont.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 24, 2005) With Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney so much in the new in 2005, it&apos;s easy to lose track of what our country was going through in 1964, it&apos;s hard to put ourselves back in that time even if we&apos;re old enough to remember it.  Ellen Rocco is old enough and tried to remember what it felt like in 1964, in New York City.
