Brooklyn Galapogos Art Space

The evening explores each couple's first meeting, the ups and downs of their marriage, their split, and the surprising perspectives on life after divorce. In these alternately funny, devastating, revelatory and moving performances, the four actors are the conduits of their parents' stories and, inevitably though sometimes inadvertently, also of their own experiences of family division. This provocative show reveals the stories behind the statistics of one of the most prominent social phenomena of our time. Founded in 2001 by Steven Cosson, The Civilians is an investigative theater company, creating new work from the creative exploration of real life. The company interacts with the public at every stage of the creative process, drawing the artists into the full complexity of the human experience. Working with this dynamic combination of journalism and art, The Civilians creates theatrical events that promote an inquisitive curiosity about the world and an engagement with the most vital questions of the present.

"Running Wild - Hate And Immigration On Long Island"
On November 8, 2008, a Long Island village was torn apart by seven Patchogue-Medford High School students who allegedly stabbed a man to death because they thought he was Mexican. The victim, Marcelo Lucero, 37, was actually from Gualaceo, Ecuador. He lived in Patchogue and worked at a dry cleaner. "Running Wild - Hate and Immigration on Long Island" explores the aftermath of Lucero's murder and its effect on the Patchogue-Medford community. New York metro area public television station WLIW21 presents the exclusive broadcast premiere of the new half-hour documentary on Wednesday, November 11 at 11:30 p.m. Through the eyes of one Patchogue-Medford High School student, Anglica Colon, and her Latino advocate father, Francisco Hernandez, the film captures an entire community turning to chaos in the wake of the murder - fingers pointed in every direction to try to explain what happened. Interviews with senior William Garcia, junior Aneesha Masih and sophomore David Maldonado, illustrate students' struggle to understand why their classmates and friends committed this act. Filmmakers Tamara Bock and Angel Canales are recent graduates of Columbia University's School of Journalism, where they produced 'Running Wild' as their master's project.
