Complete casting and creative team have been announced for The Civilians’ Paris Commune, the third play of the inaugural PUBLIC LAB initiative. Written by Steven Cosson and Michael Friedman and directed by Cosson, the production will run April 4-20.

In 1871, working class Parisians overthrew the French government, declared Paris autonomous and launched an attempt to radically reinvent society. This musical play uses a versatile company of performers to bring this revolution to explosive life.

The cast will include Kate Buddeke, Aysan Celik, Nina Hellman, Dan Lipton, Jeanine Serralles, Brian Sgambati, Jeremy Shamos, Emily Tepe, and Sam Breslin Wright.

The production will feature scenic design by Alexander Dodge, costume design by Sarah Beers, lighting design by Thomas Dunn, and sound design by Ken Travis.

The Civilians’ other original shows include (I Am) Nobody’s Lunch, Gone Missing, and This Beautiful City, debuting this month at the Humana Festival.
