EPIC Players is a resident theatre company that seeks to use the performing arts as a vehicle to empower artists with developmental disabilities and pioneer increased inclusion within the mainstream arts scene. To empower company members, EPIC will provide non-traditional career training in the performing arts along with challenging performance opportunities for hands-on learning. EPIC will be uniquely structured to include an acting ensemble of neuro-typical and developmentally disabled artists for the enrichment of both the cast and audience. It is our hope that our company will breakdown current social barriers prevalent in mainstream arts and redefine the face of theatre.
