    About the Michael Friedman Legacy Fund

    The Michael Friedman Legacy Fund was created by The Civilians in honor of our founding Associate Artist and board member, working in close partnership with his estate. The majority share of the Fund is dedicated to archiving and creating cast albums of his previously unrecorded music, serving to preserve Michael’s work, and to share it with the public and future generations. A portion of the Fund supports The Civilians as we undertake these legacy projects, and as we continue the work that Michael began, making adventurous new works of theater and supporting new generations of artists.

    Deadline for ticket purchase is May 31st. Your contribution, less $100 per ticket for Joe’s Pub and $125 per ticket for Gone Missing, is tax-deductible according to law. Tax ID #11-3621605. Any questions you can please contact The Civilians at 138 South Oxford Street, Unit 3C, Brooklyn, New York 11217, or via email to margaret@thecivilians.org.
