This episode of Let Me Ascertain You is the second of three recordings of the 2019 Lobby Projects, created by The Civilians in Residence with New York City Center. The Lobby Project is a series of pre-performance events featuring a musical theater performance based around the themes of each Encores! Off-Center production.
Notes Not Written, Then/Now was created using The Civilians’ signature investigative approach, utilizing interviews with Essie Borden, Lee Guilliatt & Dan Lipton. Along with the music of Rev. Al Carmines and an original song by Hannah Fairchild, the show explores the vibrant world of Carmines, María Irene Fornés & the Judson Poets Theater. Their trailblazing work helped to establish the off-Broadway movement of the 60s and 70s.
