“Miles for Mary,” directed by Lila Neugebauer, opened at The Bushwick Starr this past Saturday. It encapsulates the claustrophobic feeling of committee hell while delivering laughs and a real point about communication and how we do it wrong sometimes.

Six committee members who are also teachers at an Ohio high school, meet over the course of a year to plan a 24 (or maybe 26) hour telethon. Their one tangible accomplishment during the first meeting is an agreement to “do more.” So, with that directive in mind, the committee appears do very little, with hilarious and nearly touching consequences.

It would be difficult to pinpoint any performance as the best in this show. Each actor brings a different dynamic to the perfectly-dressed set, which is a 1980’s-era teachers’ break room— Perhaps the most authentic element of which is the utilitarian support post cutting its way through the space, with no regard for sight lines or space-saving.
