Jess here. I recently saw my first show at Cockroach Theatre, a well-established theatre company located here in Las Vegas. SPINNING INTO BUTTER by Rebecca Gilman exposes current social issues through an honest story that could, in reality, have taken place in Anywhere, USA. This play dealt with concepts not normally portrayed on a stage, and delivered a powerful punch that left the audience enlightened. The story is set at fictional Belmont College in Vermont, and explores racial issues that college campuses sometimes face. The show begins with Sarah Daniels, a Dean who is trying to get a student to lie about his ethnicity so he will be a stronger candidate for a scholarship. She does this with the best intentions, but it's not taken well by the student, Patrick Chibas. Meanwhile Simon (a character in name only), an African-American student attending the predominantly white Belmont College, reports a series of hate crimes being inflicted upon him. Dean Daniels along with two other Deans struggle to fix the issue, yet against Dean Daniels' better judgment, decide that a campus-wide forum is the best way to remedy the situation. Ultimately, the forum is a huge failure, and results in more of a divide than it began with. Dean Daniels continues to try to do what's right, but struggles with the process due to her subconscious racism. This story discusses the complexity of race and discrimination and how, despite the outlawing of segregation, America still struggles to treat all races equally.
Part of their Retrospective Series leading up to their 100th anniversary in 2017/18, the Alumnae Theatre Company is proud to present British dramatist Sarah Daniels' THE GUT GIRLS. Surprisingly funny and hard-hitting, this beautifully written piece follows the fortunes of the proud and brash working-class gut girls. When the gutting sheds are shut and their way of life disappears, the girls must try and find a place in the new world order of late Victorian London. Commissioned to write a play that would appeal to unionized workers during the Thatcher era, Daniels' THE GUT GIRLS explores issues of women's and workers' rights, the burden of social expectations, and the struggle for self-worth.

In Search of Sarah - A Time Traveler's Quandary by Craig Thomas Blake WingSpan Press 2015 Craig Thomas Blake's novel 'In Search of Sarah' poses the question: if you had the power to change the past, would you? Should you? Scott McGregor, a researcher in cutting-edge quantum biology finds himself reviewing his life after losing his wife to incurable ALS. His thoughts naturally turn to Sarah Daniels, the love of his college days, and the defining moment that disrupted their young lives. In 1967, Scott and Sarah chose to abort an unexpected pregnancy. Their limited choices in a pre-Roe v. Wade world sent them to Mexico. Now fifty years later, Scott sets out to find Sarah and learn what became of her. When he learns that she lost the ability to have children after the complications in Mexico, he determines to use the new quantum technology that he's working on to communicate with his young self in the past. This fast-paced, speculative fiction explores alternative realities, and echoes current concerns about the benefits and the potential adverse effects of untested technology. Blake takes us into uncharted waters and the dangers of the unintended consequences that follow. In Search of Sarah - A Time Traveler's Quandary is published by WingSpan Press, www.wingspanpress.com.
