This marks the third year of their successful partnership, where EPIC will now oversee the Costume, Make Up, and Talent departments.

Starting June, EPIC will kick off a nation-wide talent search, beginning with a two-day open casting call in Los Angeles, followed by several stops across Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, and Hershey, and concluding in New York.
