New York – The Civilians (pictured), the award-winning New York-based theatre company known for projects investigating real life topics, presents Let Me Ascertain You, a one-night-only cabaret performance at Joe’s Pub on June 4, 2010 at 9:30 PM.

The evening’s entertainment will give you a first look at research and interviews from the company’s unique exploration into the adult entertainment industry. Civilians’ artists have been out in Vegas and California’s San Fernando Valley talking to directors, performers, agents, and producers about the ins and outs of the dirty movie biz: how they do it and what it takes to make it.

Excerpts from interviews with such figures as Alex Braun, Kylie Ireland, Shy Love, Bill Margold, Avy Scott and Tabitha Stevens, as well as new songs by Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson composer and lyricist, Michael Friedman will be performed for the first time. Come spend the night with The Civilians – maybe you’ll get lucky and win a prize! Seriously, there will be prizes.

Performers: Aysan Celik, Brad Heberlee, Greg Hildreth, Alix Lambert, Kelly McCreary, Brandon Miller, Stephen Plunkett, Maria Elena Ramirez, Emily Rossell, Colleen Werthmann

Center Theatre Group, the premiere theater institution in Los Angeles, commissioned and is working with The Civilians to create a new musical about the adult entertainment industry and Civilians artists have spent the last year gathering material in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. This ground-breaking show will be inspired by the real life stories of the people who work in the field. The creative team includes bookwriter Bess Wohl, composer Michael Friedman and director Steve Cosson.
