The Civilians: Let Me Ascertain You: Occupy Wall Street

Show Description

Following The Civilians’ first sold-out Occupy Wall Street cabaret in October, Civilians’ artists continued to conduct interviews with demonstrators about the movement’s recent events, including the mass police action that cleared the protests out of Zuccotti Park and what the movement’s future holds. The upcoming cabaret features entirely new material exploring why people are protesting, hopes for Occupy 2012, and how the dynamic movement has evolved over the last three months. This one-night-only performance of monologues and songs by Michael Friedman (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) crafted from interviews in The Civilians' entertaining and thought-provoking style, offers a unique glimpse into the personal stories behind this current exercise of democracy that will leave its mark our nation's history.

Each live performance of the Let Me Ascertain You series is recorded and released online as a podcast series. Three episodes crafted from the company’s first cabaret about Occupy Wall Street are available for free on iTunes here.
