What better time to hash out matters of race, difference and diversity than during a campout? Five mothers from different backgrounds, chaperoning their first-grade girls in the Georgia woods, have an unexpectedly revealing encounter in "Brownie Points" by Janece Shaffer. (Shown here are cast members Casi Wilkerson, left, Amy Love and Faith Russell.) The comic and provocative work has its West Coast premiere Friday-June 19 at Taproot Theatre, 204 N. 85th St., Seattle; $10-$35 (206-781-9707 or www.taproottheatre.org).
