The upcoming season features a mix of ambitious mainstage plays and signature cabarets. In New York, the company will tackle The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the ART/NY Mezzanine Theatre in November, followed by an April 2027 production of 504: The Musical at Theatre Row. Co-produced with Theatre Breaking Through Barriers, the latter recounts the historic 1977 federal building occupation by disability rights activists.
EPIC Players Marks Decade of Neurodivergent Theater
Ten years after its founding, the nonprofit theater company EPIC Players is launching a bicoastal 2026-2027 season that spans New York and Los Angeles. Having supported over 250 neurodivergent and disabled artists, the organization continues to challenge industry norms by placing its performers in high-profile, professional productions.
Simultaneously, the company’s Los Angeles branch is expanding its footprint. After a Broadway-themed cabaret at the Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Center in November, the group plans to debut its first major Los Angeles musical, Between the Lines. This growth reflects a decade-long mission to prove that disabled talent belongs on the main stage, not just in scaled-down showcases. Executive Artistic Director Aubrie Therrien notes that the company’s work aims to dismantle the under-employment and lack of opportunity that frequently plague the performing arts sector for disabled artists.
