Opening night on Monday will mean the end of Mr. Friedman’s mad dashes to the C train to juggle rehearsals; 11 days later, “Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play” begins previews at Playwrights Horizons. It is Mr. Friedman’s eighth collaboration with the Civilians, each of them directed (and in many cases created) by Steve Cosson. This piece, written by Anne Washburn, brings a macabre twist to the real-world interviews that have been a crucial component of Civilians pieces like “Gone Missing” and “In the Footprint.”Here, people’s hazy post-apocalyptic memories of one episode of “The Simpsons” yield the last surviving piece of culture, which morphs by the late-21st century into a surreal, pop-music-infused pageant."

It’s a long road out of that world, while working with more top liners like Helen
Ready, Little Richard, Andy Williams, and Ray Charles, Mike struggles to change his
drinking and drug habits. Victory comes with the help and prayers of the early pioneers
of Christian Contemporary Music. Buck and Annie Herring, from The Second Chapter

ministry. Once again, Mike walks right through the door of opportunity, and plays in
Kenneth Copeland’s ministry for a few years. Then they ordain him and Kathie,
releasing them to minister on their own.

youth group meeting of 300 young people. A man with cancer calls long distance to the
church and says that the Lord told him to call that number, at the same time Mike is
warring against Cancer with his music.
Mike goes to Africa , to Sweden , and even to Russia to minister in an
underground church. He now uses his guitar to minister freedom to the captives, his
anointing releases the healing power of Jesus Christ. A tape he produces called “The
Road Home”, holds such anointing within the music that people across the nation are
touched and changed by the power of the Lord.
He goes to a prison in Guatamala, he plays at Levenworth, watching as the Lord
sets the captives free. The invitations keep coming, bring the Word, bring the music.
Then he is lead to minister in the High Schools, and comes with a message of life to a
world obsessed with death. More invitations; bring the Message, bring the music. The
anointing was always there in Mikes guitar playing, for a while he walked with the wrong
spirit, just like David, who was anointed King, yet ran in fear of his enemies. The
Guitarman had a time of running. Now he stands up on stage boldly proclaiming the
truth, using his music to chase away the devils and open the eyes of a generation
deceived.
