“As a writer, opportunities to see your own work produced are few and far between. And yet, hearing work aloud is vital to understanding the way it functions in real time. It was such a gift to be able to work with stellar actors on very malleable material. Given the space and time to explore, we were able to make leaps we never would have reached strictly on the page.”
Liv Wilson (Season 1 Writer)

"The multi-week nature of the process was a unique experience that both left me satisfied at the end of each episode and kept me coming back for more each week. Over the course of the project, I became invested in the characters' journeys and looked forward to diving deeper into the spotlighted character in each episode, coming back again and again to collect each piece of the full story."
Billy Issertell (Audience Member)
The Episodic Theatre Project (ETP) is a New York City-based collective that presents a serialized theatrical presentation each spring based on a different theme: one epic story told over five self-contained plays. It pushes the boundaries of how addictive theatre can be, and just like your favorite television show, have you come back to watch the whole series!
