Self-Reporting

Martin, a registered sex offender, has decided, in consultation with his parole officer and his therapist, to self-report his presence to the folks in his new neighborhood. The trouble comes when Annabelle, the neighbor across the street, let's her husband, Glen know about Martin. The play explores her attempt to convince Glen and her son Michael to see Martin as a person and not as "the worst thing he ever did."

 

It's a difficult thing to see the humanity in a sex offender. The play does not excuse or justify the action, but it does open our eyes to the flaws in the current system and, hopefully, softens our  hearts to the possibility that no one is "the worst thing they ever did."
