I posted a variation of this on the 1708 blog this morning and it took so much friggin time to look up all the artists websites that I haven't had time to write about SPINNING INTO BUTTER which is running at the Firehouse Theatre Project through Saturday evening. It is an incredibly funny - and relevant play. It nailed academia so acutely it gave me the chills. Afterwards there was a talkback that gave us food for thought on the way home. It is one of the best plays I've seen in quite sometime. Ed Slipeck created an amazing set, the casting was flawless and Morrie Piersol did a fabulous job leading this group of thespians to success. More information on the play and the Firehouse can be found here.
