Everyone has a talent.

Some people gravitate towards science, literature, or music. Others are drawn to the stage. We're all born with something we love to do, that's what makes us who we are. There's power in finding your purpose and celebrating your talent. But some talent isn't clear until it has a spotlight.

EPIC Players is a non-profit theatre company that opens the stage to all types of artists and seeks to shine a light on neurodiverse talent. We believe our differences are our strengths. And that a more open stage connects artists and audiences to more representation, more inspiration, and more opportunities.

We are not just a theatre company; we are a movement dedicated to redefining the landscape of the performing arts and challenging the perceptions of what disability is and can be.

EPIC Players currently serves 150 adult members and 25 EPIC Jr. members in New York City and 40 adult members in Los Angeles - serving over 200 artists nationally! EPIC offers free programming AND paid opportunities in the arts to ALL company members. With the advocacy and support provided by EPIC, company members have auditioned for, and won roles in: Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, television shows, feature films, and commercials shown across the nation.

This year, we aspire to support more Neurodivergent and Disabled players than ever before!

EPIC fundraises $5,500 per player annually and $2,500 per EPIC JR Player to continue to offer our no-cost critical programs and paid performance opportunities to our community.

This year - with drastic cuts in federal funds for the arts and attacks on marganizalized communities like yours - we are need your help more then ever. From 12/03 -Giving Tuesday - to 12/31, we are calling on all Players, Family, Friends, and Fans to join our efforts to raise $100,000 and ensure our programs stay free and sustainable for our members and our opportunities get even bigger and better.

You can support us by donating directly to our page or a Player's page OR by signing up to create your own fundraising team. Either click "Donate" to donate directly or "I want to fundraise for this" to create a team.
