Canard, Canard, Goose:
The Civilians leave New York City to pursue a story about a Hollywood movie and a lost flock of carelessly imprinted geese, resulting in an eclectic show about disorientation, misplaced empathy and coming home.

Time Out New York: “Sublimely silly and shameless, this septet of downtown talent self-mockingly tackles the issue of animal neglect in film.”
The Village Voice “it’s not every company that can write bilingual comic songs or screw up in such a delightfully quackerjack fashion.”
DigitalCity “Keep an eye on this troupe. They’ve got talent, style, convictions, and most importantly, a sense of humor.”
NYTheatre.com “like Rashomon cubed…kudos to director Steve Cosson for his subtle manipulations of theatrical space”
