INCENDIARIES<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2015-2016/incendiaries/>
Through January 23

Conceived & Directed by Pandora Robertson
WORLD PREMIERE

Based on the race riots that tore through Cleveland's east side Hough neighborhood in the late 1960s, INCENDIARIES delves into historical text, trial transcripts and citizen accounts to explore our past conflicts between law enforcement and the communities they serve. With muscular intensity and a dynamic physical style, INCENDIARIES sheds light on the past to better see the present.

"The play's subject matter and timeliness most certainly inspires contemplation, discussion and debate. But what is particularly remarkable is its ability to transform historical text, actual trial transcripts, and documented citizen accounts into riveting theater." Cleveland Jewish News<http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/cpt-s-exceptional-incendiaries-uses-drama-to-spark-discussion/article_f39c40ca-b879-11e5-ae6d-ff5fba249ca2.html>

"The cast is exceptional and nothing is left on the stage at the end... From the opening salvo of voice to the final shout of rebellion, "Incendiaries" grips you. Be prepared for a goose bump, hair tingling, gasping in your face theater experience." AXS<http://www.axs.com/cleveland-public-theatre-and-ohio-city-theatre-project-present-incendi-73812>

"The compelling company tells its turbulent tale in a manner that is universal to all, focusing on raw human emotions and the violence that can erupt when emotions begin to boil. Everyone involved with this production deserves a standing ovation for their talent, technique, and tenacity. Pandora Robertson orchestrates the constant confrontation onstage with power and precision." LandofCleve<http://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2016/01/cleve-review-insightful-incendiaries.html>
