THE RANT is a gripping drama exploring racial bias and the perilous path to justice. When an African-American autistic boy is gunned down by police in the Bronx, an investigator sets out to expose the officer's crime only to learn that the truth itself is a sort of bias. She must wade through prejudice, deceit, and a volley of anonymous threats to find where culpability and truth really lie.

THE RANT is based on Andrew Case's eight years of experience working on police misconduct issues for the City of New York. He served as the chief spokesman and policy officer for the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates over 5,000 complaints every year against NYPD officers.

NY Times: "The author's passion is undeniable, giving ‘The Rant' its dramatic power."

THE RANT is directed by Sharon Evans (Live Bait Artistic Director) and features Emanueal Buckley, Earl Pastko (formerly of The Remains Theatre) , Lindsey Pearlman, and Shariba Rivers.

Designers include Heath Hays (set), Stefin Steberl (costumes), Matthew Gawryk (lights), Joe Court (sound), CoCo Ree Lemery (paint charge). Stage Management by Anna MK Brenner.
