Damian Baldet

Steven Cosson

  • Variety: "Civilians take unique approach"
  • The Village Voice: "Dream Play: Steve Cosson"
  • The Village Voice: "Off-Broadway's leading lights offer up resolutions for 2007"
  • Time Out New York: "a bevy of brilliant young dramatists are creating the city’s most original theater"
  • The New York Times: "it ends up on a stage, before sellout crowds, so perhaps theater will do until another word comes along."

Michael Friedman

  • American Theatre Magazine: "one need not look any further than Friedman’s work with the downtown Manhattan troupe the Civilians, of which he is a founding member, to see how meticulous mimicry—of a breezy cabaret torch song or lovelorn indie-rock—can leave audiences with infectious melodies stuck in their heads."
  • Time Out New York: "Nobody talks about an “Off Broadway sound,” but if they did, it might resemble the music of Michael Friedman."
  • The New York Times: "Composing for Shakespeare While Listening to Timberlake"
  • Time Out New York: "one of Time Out NY's 25 New Yorkers who will make their mark in 2005"
