The Civilians’ In the Footprint Announces Casting

Casting has been announced for The Civilians’ newest show In the Footprint: The Battle Over the Atlantic Yards, to run November 12-December 11 at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn. Written by Steve Cosson, the piece will feature music and songs by Michael Friedman and Michael Hill.

In the Footprint will investigate the story of Brooklyn’s controversial land development project, using a combination of theater, dance and music, and has been developed from its inspiration from interviews with the real life players in the story: residents both old and new, community activists, developers, local business owners, and politicos, among others.

As previously announced, the company will present selections from the show at Joe’s Pub in September.

The company will feature Marsha Stephanie Blake, Billy Eugene Jones, Greg McFadden, Melanie Nicholls-King, Joaquin Torres, and Colleen Werthmann.
