"These are the train stations

--Or at least, these used to be

The train stations"

Epic Theatre Company is proud to present a unique evening of monologues that deal with the distant past, the near future, and the present that bridges them together.

A man reminisces about the lost state of California while standing on a beach in Nevada. A woman tells the story of a little girl who learns to float and the mother who has to bring her back down to earth. Investment bankers take to the streets in the middle of the night. Invading armies are made to fill out forms before they can storm the kingdom. Marlon Brando stands on a bridge and wonders if he should jump.

All these stories and more make up "This Is the Future, This Is the Past," by Kevin Broccoli, local writer and Epic Theatre Company Artistic Director, featuring a cast of local actors including Jill D. Jones, Kimball Crossley, Victoria Ezikovich, Patrick Mark Saunders, Kerry Giorgi, Victor Terry, Ashley Moore, Jason Quinn, Tammy Brown, Paige Barry, Jerry Middlemiss, Mary Beth Kim, Preston Lawhorne, Terry Simpson, Tiffany Fenton, Michael Puppi, Stephanie Traversa, David O'Connell, Christine Pavao, and Jeff Ararat.
