Kara Garbe Balcerzak's play about a government worker who exposes state secrets, a la Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, is more clawing agitprop than affecting theater. Gene (Nick Manthe), his wife Mary (Kelly Regan) and her sister Hannah (Lily Cornwell) go camping in the Boundary Waters only to be surprised by Gene's co-worker, Colleen (Julie Ann Greif), and her husband, Riley (Eric Balcerzak). They have secrets and a desperate need to get to Canada. The production has little direction; people sit around the camp yakking. But it does have a well-meaning spirit. (2:30 p.m. Sat., 8:30 p.m. Mon. & Thu., 1 p.m. Aug. 13, Ritz Theater Mainstage, 345 13th Av. NE., Mpls.)
