Absorb it. Be changed by it." — *Scene* "The powerful [original] performances were virtually sold out, so the company is re-staging it. If you did not see it the first time, you need to see it now." — Anastasia Pantsios,* Cool Cleveland* "This work is raw; it serves it up straight, no chaser; it takes no prisoners; minces no words; spares no feelings…Everyone who missed this play the first time around should make a real effort to get off their lazy asses and go see it this time." — Mansfield Frazier, *Cool Cleveland* Press for the Premiere Production “Electric, probing and uncomfortably raw…deeply moving. This is a play that needs to be seen.” — The Plain Dealer “A must-see experience for anyone interested in the real world around them.” — Broadway World “A show that begs to be seen by police officers and citizens alike.” — Talkin’ Broadway Synopsis Playwrights Local proudly announces the return of Objectively/Reasonable, the critically acclaimed documentary play that premiered to sold-out houses in August 2016. Presented as a community response to the 2014 shooting of Tamir Rice, this powerful new work is based on original interviews with legal experts, social critics, police officers, parents, and others from Greater Cleveland. Featuring contributions from an ensemble of writers--Mike Geither, Tom Hayes, Lisa Langford, Michael Oatman, and David Todd--the play considers the impact and aftermath of this tragedy, as captured through a diverse set of unheard voices. Objectively/Reasonable was conceived and edited by David Todd and directed by Terrence Spivey, former artistic director of Karamu House.
