This week's episode features the show about Robert Hammond and the High Line that we created for our Annual Spring Benefit this last spring! Robert is a co-founder of the High Line, the elevated public park in New York City built on old freight rail tracks. Interviewees performed include Robert, Robert's mom and dad, staff at Friends of the High Line, Bronson Van Wyck, 2005 NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Gifford Miller, Director of the Department of City Planning Amanda Burden, and Florent Morellet. It was written by Steve Cosson with songs by Michael Friedman, and performed at the Highline Ballroom in spring of 2012 by Associate Artists Quincy Tyler Bernstine, Matt Dellapina, Dan Domingues, Daoud Heidami, Nina Hellman, Daniel Jenkins, Kelly McCreary, Greg McFadden, Maria Elena Ramirez, Robbie Collier Sublett, and Sam Breslin Wright.

Thank you for purchasing tickets to the 2012 Annual Spring Benefit!
THANK YOU FOR BUYING TICKETS OR MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CIVILIANS 2012 ANNUAL SPRING BENEFIT!
We are so grateful for your ticket purchase or contribution. You will receive your tax-deductible receipt via mail after the event.
At the benefit this year, we will be honoring our first Civilian of the Year: Robert Hammond, a co-founder of The High Line! We are so thrilled to be honoring Robert for his commitment to healthy urban development and for his tremendous efforts bringing New York City the ingeniously-planned haven for nature that is The High Line.
As is tradition, the benefit will feature a performance by Civilians Associate Artists and special guest performers (who we'll be announcing soon). This year, we are also going to be creating an original investigative theater piece to salute Robert and his incredible work. Our question this year is:
Where would you put a park in New York City and why?
Leave your responses in the comments below, and we will incorporate them into the piece!
Plus, you can download The Civilians 2012 Annual Spring Benefit App, which we made using invitation app creator Yapp! Download for iPhone HERE and view on Android HERE using code CVLNS! You'll find benefit updates, our schedule, photos from last year's benefit, and more!
Thanks again for your support. See you on the 23rd!
