A dark ride through the landscape of American public culture. This latest creation from the Obie-winning company The Civilians asks the thorny question—how do we know what we know when everyone in power seems to be lying?

Stories about things lost and found charting a musical landscape of loss. The six performers play over 30 characters, intertwining stories of lost objects with those of the "finders," from a retired NYPD cop to a pet psychic. Begins June 14, 2007 at Barrow Street Theatre.

The lives of Eva Perón, Madame Mao, Elena Ceausescu, Imelda Marcos — and those of project author Anne Washburn and director Anne Kauffman — told through gossip, tape recorders, torch songs, spectacle, and grim historical analysis. View photos.

The Civilians leave New York City to pursue a story about a Hollywood movie and a lost flock of carelessly imprinted geese resulting in an eclectic show about disorientation, misplaced empathy and coming home. View photos.
