The Civilians have announced their 2018 season.

On tap January 11-February 4 are Steve Cosson's The Undertaking at 59E59 Theaters. First presented at the 2016 Next Wave Festival at Brooklyn Academy of Music, the new mounting stars Dan Domingues and Aysan Celik. Written and directed by Cosson, it is created in collaboration with Jessica Mitrani.

On December 18 at Joe's Pub, the Civilians will look into the country's current political movement with Strong Women Love Trump (and Other Live Stories).

The season concludes with Times Square, with a score by Jill Sobule and Robin Eaton, a book by Jim Lewis, and direction by Cosson. It is produced in residence at NYU's Tisch School of Drama and by special arrangement with Studiocanal, running February 22-March 3.
