The inaugural 2003-04 season, under artistic director Richard Kuranda and managing director Carolyn Woodring, includes the world premiere of Farblondjet, by playwright-in-residence Jeremy Kareken; a revival of Antigone by Jean Anouilh, directed by Kuranda; plus a one-act play festival featuring pieces by Romulus Linney, Lee Blessing and Neal Bell.

In true rep fashion, performances will overlap so that you might see a new American play on a Thursday and a revival of a European work on a Friday.

The company was co-founded by Kuranda and Alicia Regan with the aim of "inspiring a new generation of theatergoers by opening its doors to resident artists while providing opportunity and freedom to emerging actors, writers, and technicians."

The troupe has been around in a developmental form since 2001, but this is the first time full productions are being offered.

The goal is to have a permanently-employed ensemble, but for now actors are drawn from an Epic pool of talent, with others being brought in as necessary. The DR2 Theatre is at 103 E. 15th Street. The current tenant is Edge.

Epic Rep's season includes the following presentations.
