Brownies for Christmas is a play I wrote about a progressive school, wildly progressive, that hates Christmas.
In episode 4, the head of the Community School, Laura, wrestles with liberty and equality. She also chats with Ron and about Christmas, daydreams, and romance.
In episode 5, the Brownies find a real man for Laura by raiding the seventeenth century.
In episode 6, Colleen’s roommate the highly progressive Jessica discovers chocolate and the tragedy of eating it.
