The first major musical about the adult entertainment industry.

The Civilians is taking a long, hard look at the adult entertainment industry to create the first major musical about porn. Our artists are out in Vegas and the Cali valley talking to directors, performers, and producers about the ins and outs of the dirty movie biz: how they do it and what it takes to make it. The Civilians are getting to the bottom of how people got into the industry, how stars rose to fame, and how technological advancements have affected the sustainability and commercial viability of the genre.

The Civilians, with a commission from Center Theater Group, is currently out asking questions to get the creative juices flowing. We'll keep disseminating the plethora of answers to you through the Porn Blog, so stay in touch — there's more to come!
