It is the purpose of the Playwrights Local to produce works of North Eastern Ohio writers. If their future efforts produce anything like this painful to watch but well conceived play, their purpose will be well confirmed. This is a must see experience for anyone interested in the real world around them, especially if they are not part of the African American community.

As in all things of our great and varied society it
takes a senseless tragedy to bring attention to a much larger problem. “Objectively/Reasonable” is the window that
has opened for all to view the inequity of law enforcement activity in the less
advantaged Cleveland neighborhoods. It
is a show that begs to be seen by police officers and citizens alike in order
to break the silence and begin a dialog where community and safety officials
unite in a common cause. If not, we are
doomed to repeat this tragedy over and over again.

The play grapples with the notion of how such a thing could be, as a prosecution expert claimed, "reasonable." And why Cleveland didn't burn. The sentiments of ordinary Clevelanders echo through the 90-minutes piece, mingling with the observations of figures with more intimate knowledge of the case.
