Fine Arts Studio Theatre
"Rebecca Gilman’s award-winning play is a searing, darkly comic exposé of hidden racism and political correctness on American college campuses. When patently racist notes are tacked on the door of one of the few African-American students attending a rural Vermont college, a crisis erupts that sends the liberal dean of students, faculty, and administrators “spinning into butter” in the name of political correctness.”

The Eight: Reindeer Monologues
By Jeff Goode
Directed by Lance Martin
February 14-16, 7 p.m.
$5 Students & $10 General Public at the door
Sponsored by the Associated Students of the Performing ArtsFine Arts Studio Theatre
”In this wickedly funny comedy, scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa's eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment. A media circus ensues, with each of member of Santa’s team demanding to give his or her own perspective on the happenings at the toyshop.”

For tickets, go to the UW box office.
