The Civilians to Present FANTASTIC FLOPS AND FIASCOS This Month

On Monday, May 15th, acclaimed theater group The Civilians will present the third installment of their Artist in Residence program with their performance, "Fantastic Flops and Fiascos." Based on true stories shared on-air by The Brian Lehrer Show listeners, The Civilians will work with composers and actors to turn the stories into hilarious songs and performances on stage in front of a live audience. The event is an experiment that transforms audience-generated content into a unique one-night-only theatrical experience. Participants will include Rebecca Hart, Robert M. Johanson, Jennifer Morris, Heath Saunders, and Colleen Werthmann.

"Everyone faces failure at some point in their lives. The Civilians take potentially sensitive topics and present them in a way that shines a humorous light on those moments," said Kristina Newman-Scott, Executive Director of The Greene Space.

More information for this event is available here. The Greene Space is located at 44 Charlton St., New York City, NY 10014.
