Come September, Epic Theatre Company and Artists' Exchange will officially join forces, as Epic moves into the black box theatre space at Artists' Exchange, becoming the organization's first ever resident theater company.
From super powers to a super granny, death, a disappearance and the apocalypse, the 8th annual Artists' Exchange One Act Play Festival rollicks through plots and genres leaving no stone unturned. Presented in two 2 week 'waves,' these thirteen plays offer a refreshingly brief and varied sampling of emerging and established American playwrights. Local playwrights include Epic Theatre Company's Kevin Broccoli (Wave I), Trinity Repertory Company Member Alexandar Platt (Wave II) and Ben Jolivet (Wave I & II).
Epic Theatre Company presents an End-of-the-World Premiere about the potential end of mankind, and what happens when life itself becomes your biggest gamble. A comet is hurtling through space towards Earth. The only problem is, there's a slim chance the comet will miss the planet completely.

Although we might like to believe that things are black or white, one or the other, they almost never are. There are many shades of gray and variations in between. And it can be a blurry distance between two extremes. A fine line between, for example, sane and insane. Who's to say what its crazy and what isn't? And who gets to decide what to do about people deemed to be at the wrong end of the spectrum? Few plays examine these issues with such depth, pathos and clarity as Dale Wasserman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, adapted from the novel by Ken Kesey. The play, originally performed in 1963, received Tony awards when it was revived in 2001. It also spawned a movie version in 1975, famously starring Jack Nicholson, which won multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Richard Greenberg's Tony award-winning play is at the Warren, RI theater through February 12th.
Comic Potential is Alan Ayckbourn's take on television of the future where actors are not actors at all, but machines. Given the success of James Cameron's Avatar, Ayckbourn might be on to something.
