About the Play
BREAKOUT SESSION (OR FROGORSE) is a timely play born from extensive interviews with members of the Cleveland Police Department. It takes on racism and snap judgements through the eyes of a trainer while she leads a breakout session during a mandated anti-bias training. The characters explore their animal sides and hold the mirror up to human nature - confronting the implicit bias we all hold inside us.
