NEXT IN THEATER B<br />
THE CIVILIANS in<br />
Songs Written by MICHAEL FRIEDMAN<br />
Directed by STEVEN COSSON<br />
JAN 19 – FEB 5<br />
Nobody's Lunch is a dark ride through the landscape<br />
of American public culture. This latest creation from the<br />
Obie-winning company The Civilians asks the thorny<br />
question—how do we know what we know when everyone<br />
in power seems to be lying? Is it possible to know what’s<br />
really going on in the world when information is<br />
manipulated to serve particular interests?<br />
