Epic Citizens with Melissa Friedman
The visually enhanced companion to the Point of Learning podcast episode 019, video includes clips of Epic NEXT and Epic REMIX student performances, as well as pics from interview, Epic's work in schools, and people, events, and images referred to during my December interview with Epic Theatre Ensemble Co-Founder and Co-Artistic Director Melissa Friedman.
Epic Theatre Ensemble is dedicated to fostering dialogue about current civic, social, and ethical issues. Epic is at once an off-Broadway theatre company that premieres professional productions and an arts education powerhouse with an array of award-winning programs for students—in school, after school, and during the summer. It’s a collaborative of teaching artists and students who believe that participation in theatre is essential to a healthy democracy, and that this kind of engaging theatre experience should be a hallmark of U.S. education for all students.
