The first major musical about the adult entertainment industry.
The Civilians is taking a long, hard look at the adult entertainment industry to create the first major musical about porn. Our artists were out in Vegas and the San Fernando Valley in LA talking to directors, performers, agents, and producers about the ins and outs of the dirty movie biz. The show uses that material to tell the fictional story of a girl entering the industry to become a star, though the pressures of fame and increasing technological advances in this under-regulated field prove that it's getting harder and harder to make it big and make it last.
