Presenting EPP Radio Theater
For over a year we haven’t been able to perform on a live stage, so we came up with the idea of doing radio theater instead: theater that could be rehearsed, recorded and presented with social distancing of performers and audience. But we think it’s more fun to see actors perform, so we came up with the idea of doing video recordings of the recording of radio plays. And that became the production! So to answer the #1 FAQ, no, there isn’t really any radio involved.
We’ll be releasing three shows in this series this summer, and each will be available online for one month. They will be free to watch, but we hope you will consider supporting them with a small donation.

Will Philip make it to his destination, or does he even know where this dark road is leading him?
