‘FERGUSON’ PLAY CAST MEMBERS QUIT AFTER LEARNING TRUTH ABOUT MICHAEL BROWN SHOOTING
Breitbart ^ | 4/22/15 | Daniel Nussbaum

Five cast members of the upcoming Ferguson stage play abruptly quit this week after reading the play’s script, which recreates the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson using testimony taken from the grand jury proceedings in the case.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the cast members quit the production after learning the true circumstances surrounding Brown’s death. Playwright and producer Phelim McAleer told Breitbart News that the script is based strictly on grand jury testimony, with “nothing added. No dialogue, no characters.”

“He claims that he wrote this to try to get to the truth of it, but everybody’s truth is totally subjective,” former cast member Veralyn Jones told the Times. “When you come to the matter of what really happened, nobody really knows for sure, because everybody has a different take on it. … It just didn’t feel right to me.”

A self-described “very liberal, left-wing-leaning” cast member, Philip Casnoff, told the Times that when he learned about McAleer’s conservative background, he thought, “Whoa, this is not the place for me to be.”

“It felt like the purpose of the piece was to show, ‘Of course he was not indicted – here’s why,'” Casnoff added.

McAleer has repeatedly stated that his play is based on a genre of drama called “verbatim theater,” in which events depicted on stage are a recreation of exact witness testimony and interviews.

Phelim McAleer and his partner produced “Not Evil, Just Wrong”, which thoroughly debunked Global Whatchamacallit. He’s a purveyor of the real inconvenient truths.

It’s EASY for Phelim to audition actors for the play. This is L.A. and you can spit in the air and you will hit an actor. The problem is you will be blacklisted afterwards. I wish I had the patience like our casting directors who exhibit great amounts of it to weed out the untalented hacks.

". . . but everybody’s truth is totally subjective."

A civil society requires ones respect for another. For the Communists, selfishness is the new norm. The rule of law becomes another outdated institution because it limits the new purpose for life: self centered material gratification. Our moral society, governed by Natural Law, is now being replaced by moral relativism. This encourages Big Government to do anything it wants and the Constitution be damned. As with the indulgence in pleasure, there will be no limits to what government will do to those under its rule. Forces of lawlessness are destroying the notion of a nation governed by laws right from under our nose. There will be no action subject to judgement. There are no absolutes. All truth is subjective. Fascism will be the way of government. The Utopian world without limits will fall like a house of cards. And with it will go the survival of the human race.

Post-modernism taught from elementary school up. Reality is only what you think it is. There is no book on your desk, there is only a book in your mind. Man is now the god of his own little mind. Satan’s work is almost complete.

No other people exist either so they won’t be missed when they end up on the train to Auschwitz.

These actors are living proof that Liberalism/Progressivism is totalitarian. The brown-shirts would be proud.

Explains a great deal of "liberal" "thought". I'm beginning to see the truth that "Liberalism" is a form of insanity.

They change names out there like we change underwear. Just perform under another stage name.
