Among the guests at Spinning Into Butter's July 26 opening night were two of Lincoln Center's other tenants, Deborah Yates and 2000 Tony Award winner Karen Ziemba, the female stars of Contact. Spinning Into Butter exposes the cosmetic and sometimes destructive political correctness that erupts on a small Vermont college campus when an African-American student finds several racist notes pinned to his door. Hope Davis plays a new dean assigned to investigate the incident. Butter spins at Lincoln Center's Mitzi Newhouse Theatre through Sept. 16.
