The EPIC Players (Empower, Perform, Include, Create) is a New York City neuro-inclusive theater company in founded in 2016 to provide performance opportunities for actors with developmental disabilities. EPIC uses the performing arts as a vehicle to empower artists with developmental disabilities while pioneering increased inclusion in the arts. Our mission is to breakdown social barriers, negative myths and stereotypes surrounding this previously marginalized minority. Working with people with and without disabilities, we hope to role model a new way to use performing arts to empower artists and communities to become change-makers in their fields.
