Epic Theatre Ensemble returns off-Broadway with the world premiere of The Winning Side, a new play by James Wallert

'Sleep F$@cking: Revision' by Margot Mejia is an exploration of the physical experience of writing and revising a work that delves into a troubled writer's mind.

Theater for the New City's Dream Up Festival will present the play's world premiere August 26 to September 4.
