The Winning Side
Post-show guest speakers
Post-show Forum- Come for the Show; Stay for the Company!
All of Epic Theatre Ensemble’s programming is designed to place a theatrical experience at the center of a larger public dialogue about vital social issues. As a part of that effort, all of our Off-Broadway productions include a Forum Series where following a performance, guest speakers join our company onstage to discuss the key questions and ideas that emerged with our audiences.
Wednesday October 3, 8:00 p.m.
