It’s about the DIALOGUE. For eight seasons Epic has produced provocative theatre for an audience like the city we live in – diverse, multi-generational, political, and poetic. SEASON NINE puts the spotlight on the volcanic relationship between DOUBT & CERTAINTY in our increasingly extremist world. Three UNFORGETTABLE PREMIERES filled with beauty, whimsy, and tragedy that we know you’ll want to talk about.
ABOUT EPIC OFF-BROADWAY:
Every great play has the potential to bring diverse communities together to celebrate and challenge the world we share, to be a collective experience that inspires discussion and spurs action. With this in mind, Epic Theatre Ensemble selects plays for PRODUCTION that serve as poetic and powerful centerpieces for a larger public dialogue. Some past highlights include: Nilaja Sun’s No Child…, Palace of the End by Judith Thompson, Hannah and Martin by Kate Fodor, Einstein’s Gift by Vern Thiessen, and Beauty on the Vine by Zak Berkman.
Beyond production, Epic commissions and nurtures new socially-minded work by pre-professional, early-career, and well-established writers. Through a comprehensive script DEVELOPMENT process, Epic supports playwrights exploring timeless social, political, and ethical issues within their work.
