The Story

The Dean of Students at a small Vermont college is confronted with a crisis—how to respond to a series of threats targeting an African-American student. While the faculty and students fly into a flurry of politically correct activity—cosmetic at best, destructive at worst—the Dean struggles to face up to the reality of racial issues. A powerful and explosive new play that will shake you to your very core.
