“Electric, probing and uncomfortably raw…deeply moving. This is a play that needs to be seen.”

“This is a work that should travel to theaters all over the country...A catharsis.”
— Cool Cleveland

“A must-see experience for anyone interested in the real world around them.”

“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.
