Epic Theatre to Present THE BUSY WORLD IS HUSHED, 11/7-23

Epic Theatre Company is proud to present an intimate and breath-taking drama about the fragile nature of family and the power and mystery of faith.

Hannah is an Episcopalian minister with a book to write about a newly discovered gospel that could rock the religious world, but when the young man she's hired to help her begins building a relationship with her wayward son, she sees an opportunity to protect her child that might end up costing her everything.

The Busy World Is Hushed by Keith Bunin is a beautiful look at religion and spirituality that asks us to consider why we believe what we believe, and what would we do for the ones we love.

Tray Gearing (Epic Theatre's Betrayal) directs Epic Artistic Director Kevin Broccoli, Mary Paolino (Angels in America, Stop Kiss) and Stephen Peterson.

THE BUSY WORLD IS HUSHED by Keith Bunin also features work by Stage Manager: Michael Shallcross; Sound Design: Terry Shea; Costume Consultant: Marilyn Salvatore; and Poster Design: Ashley Arnold.
