Brownie Points
Five mothers follow their daughters to a Girl Scout camp in upstate Georgia for a weekend of earning merit badges. Janece Shaffer's play combines goofy slapstick with surprisingly serious drama as the women learn to see beyond their expectations. When Allison makes a possibly racist mistake in the itinerary, she and Deidre go toe-to-toe with such ferocity that resolution seems impossible. Deborah Gilmour Smyth directed a fine ensemble cast — including Noel Award–winners Karson St. John and Monique Gaffney as Allison and Deidre — who recombine like building blocks, in various scenes, and repair at least some of the damage. In Michael McKeon's inventive set, pillars of fluted cloth represent tall, North Georgia pines.
Worth a try.
