You can help record the living history of OCCUPY!
We've got all the tools for you to interview participants in the Occupy movement, turn that interview into a piece of theater, perform it, send it over to us, and we'll share it with the world! We think that a network of people listening, performing and sharing has great potential to make an important contribution to the energy of this historic moment. What’s more, all of us working together can help record history as it evolves in different communities. Let this history come from the people who are making it happen! All it takes is a little time and the creation of a space for that voice to be heard. We hope you’ll be part of it! Click HERE to get involved!
www.thegreatimmensity.org is an environmental site inspired by our play, The Great Immensity! Six characters from the play are bloggers on the site, posting about a wide variety of environmental topics and telling the real stories of individuals making a difference in these large and vital issues. The site also features an original video series by our Associate Artist Alix Lambert of interviews with artists creating inspirational environmental work, the first of which is with Academy Award-winning Louie Psihoyos, director of The Cove.
We hope you'll explore the site, comment on the posts and videos, and spread the word!

In the Footprint: The Battle Over Atlantic Yards tells the story of Brooklyn's largest development project in history. The Civilians' show uses verbatim interviews with the real life players in the story of Brooklyn: residents both long-term and new, community activists including Daniel Goldstein, local business owners, politicos such as Letitia James and Marty Markowitz, and many others.
"[In the Footprint] is as fresh, inventive and frankly as entertaining as any new work of musical theater to open this fall."

Armageddon has hit, and all that remains is our nostalgia for a lost pop culture. In Anne Washburn's riveting vision of post-apocalyptic America based on a group of Civilians' artists trying to recreate an episode of The Simpsons from memory, survivors invent a new entertainment industry from the ashes of the old. With music by Obie Award-winner Michael Friedman, their enterprise gives redemptive new meaning to the pop hits and cartoon icons we can't live without.
