How to Act Around Cops presented by Open Cage Ensemble at Angel Island Theater

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...The story circles around, looking for its tail-a fruitless task, but one that is frequently entertaining in this Open Cage Ensemble production. (The play was a hit when it debuted at the 2003 New York International Fringe Festival.) Chad Morris plays the cop-a man intensely committed to upholding the law-who is fuzzy on the ethics of what that means."

Chicago Reader - Not Recommended

"...the script strains to convey that things onstage aren't what they seem. But since none of the math in this fictive world works out--down to the smallest gesture--clues disappear in a blizzard of bad-faith plot moves, and the eventual truth of the situation rings as false as the fibs previously concealing it. The fresh-faced, appealing Open Cage Ensemble cast doesn't stand a chance against such thoroughly counterfeit material."

Time Out Chicago - Recommended

"...the script points to the dangers of complaisance, turning up the heat on its characters for telling a cop what they think he wants to hear. It’s a riddle that’s funny—and awfully frightening."
