Epic Theatre Company is launching its new season with Anna Deavere Smith's politically evocative House Arrest: A Search for American Character In and Around the White House, Past and Present. The one-woman show has been transformed into a riveting ensemble piece featuring some of Rhode Island's finest actors.

The Valentine Trilogy consists of three parts: Sal Valentino and the Melancholy Kid set in the wild, wild West, Curse of the Crying Heart in medieval Japan, and Valentine Victorious! in 1930s Boston. The stories all revolve around an epic hero, a masked vigilante with a heart of gold, and the tales of love, revenge, and good versus evil that he encounters. While it is possible to see these works individually, they act as prequels and sequels to the rest and work best when seen in their entirety.
