Among the delights of postmodern theater are carefree mashups of reality and fiction, blurred genres, and coaxing new meaning out of old material. The Epic Theatre Company's 'Lizzie Borden, Lizzie Borden' gleefully takes an axe to history, and in the process creates an intriguing, engaging evening that cleverly remakes well-known myths.

Epic Theatre Company presents Lillian Hellman's 1939 classic THE LITTLE FOXES, running January 12th-27th. This turn-of-the-century drama, directed by Kate Lester, takes a hard look at wealth, and the lengths one family will go to keep it.

Epic Theatre Company is welcoming the new year with one of the greatest plays ever written. Regina Hubbard Giddens and her conniving family will do whatever it takes to claim their family's fortune in this devilish and dynamic look at wealth, privilege, and power.

Two casts, one great show!

The first offering in Epic Theatre Company's Summer of Sex is a hilarious, unexpectedly touching and no holds barred original production called THE BEDROOM PLAYS.  This series of ten short works gets increasingly racy with each offering, and the members of the audience have the option to tag themselves out in between each, if they feel like they can't handle the next one.  Those that make it all the way through proudly get to share the social media hashtag #10for10.  While some plays in this collection are stronger than others, as a whole it deserves praise for taking chances, equal opportunity nudity and an incredibly brave and talented cast who make every joke shine.

?Epic Theatre is celebrating sunny days and summer nights with the wildest show it's ever put on-Twenty-eight actors, ten directors, and one playwright are coming together to bring you the biggest theatrical event of the summer.

Based on the classic novel Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith, Epic Theatre's page to stage season re-write imagines a deftly wrought twist both in the gender of the protagonist and antagonist as well as almost everything else that happens. Two women meet on a train, that much is familiar, but the rest of the story is one unexpected twist after another that leaves the audience almost exhausted at the end, but still completely satisfied. Anyone who has seen a show at Epic knows that sets are minimal and dialogue and performance rule. This works incredibly well thanks to the talents of Hannah Lum as Georgia and Kelly McCabe as Beth. What is essentially two women having a conversation becomes a fascinating back and forth that ratchets up the tension with every word. Epic always proves that you don't need elaborate sets to tell a compelling story, and this show is a fantastic example of the power perfectly chosen words delivered by skilled actors.

Epic Theatre Company will present the World Premiere of "Total Strangers."  Inspired by Patricia Highsmith's masterpiece "Strangers on a Train," Kevin Broccoli has flipped the story of two random people who meet and get tangled up in a murder plot by switching genders and creating even more twists and turns than in the original novel and famous film.
