The Civilians Add Post-Play Events for YOU BETTER SIT DOWN

As part of the previously announced run of YOU BETTER SIT DOWN: TALES FROM MY PARENTS' DIVORCE, the Flea and The Civilians today announced YOU BETTER SIT DOWN SALON NIGHTS: YOUR TALES TAKE THE STAGE, a series of post-play events.  

Every Wednesday and Saturday evening following the show, we offer our audiences a rare opportunity to get personally engaged and share in the storytelling.  Civilians' artists and The Flea's resident Acting Company, The Bats, will develop short scenes and songs from material contributed by audiences both in the theater and online based on questions related to personal experiences with divorce and relationships. In addition, a unique collaboration of artists and organizations including playwrights Jason Grote (a writer on NBC's Smash) and Jon Kern (a writer on The Simpsons), Michael Schulman of The New Yorker, composer Michael Friedman, and singer-songwriters Kamara Thomas, and Sam Bisbee will present works as part of these one-of-a-kind events.
