For several years, Michael Friedman has been crafting savvy tunes based on interviews conducted by the downtown docu-theatre troupe the Civilians, which he helped found. Tonight's show at Lincoln Center could be the largest single audience he's played to, and the dramatic setting of the Allen Room with a glass wall overlooking the Manhattan skyline and Central Park provides the perfect backdrop for this song cycle of everyday people. Broadway actress and musical veteran Sherie Rene Scott sings Friedman's songs along with a host of talented performers including fellow Civilians member Michael Esper.

Lincoln Center says…

Theatrical composer and lyricist Michael Friedman presents Adventures in Reality, a series of songs based on real dialogue from everyday people and historical figures. A founder of the downtown theater troupe The Civilians, which keeps a close eye on contemporary society with a bit of humor, Friedman is joined by fellow Civilians member Michael Esper, and de’Adre Aziza of the radical rock musical Passing Strange, among other guests including Caitlin Miller, Sherie Rene Scott, and Benjamin Walker.
