The Campaign for EPIC’s Next DecadeACT II: THIS IS THE MOMENT
For ten years, EPIC Players has changed what’s possible. Now, this is the moment to build what comes next….
As EPIC Players celebrates its 10-year anniversary, we are launching a bold four-year campaign to expand opportunity for Neurodivergent and Disabled artists, strengthen the future of inclusive theater, and build the foundation for EPIC’s next decade. Demand for EPIC’s work has never been greater. Classes are full. Waitlists continue to grow. More artists, families, collaborators, and audiences are seeking spaces where Disabled artists are not only welcomed, but centered.
ACT II: THIS IS THE MOMENT is a $10 million investment in what comes next: more artists served, larger artistic opportunities, stronger infrastructure, long-term sustainability, and a permanent future home for Disabled arts.
The Campaign for EPIC’s Next Decade
For the past decade, EPIC has created transformative artistic opportunities for Neurodivergent and Disabled artists through professional productions, training programs, mentorship, and community-centered performance experiences.
Today, EPIC is at a pivotal moment.
Programs are reaching capacity. Audience attendance continues to grow. More artists, schools, collaborators, and families are seeking out EPIC’s work than ever before. Act II will help EPIC meet this moment by:
Expanding access for more Players
Strengthening staffing and infrastructure
Increasing artistic opportunity
Growing long-term sustainability
Laying the foundation for the EPICenter, a future permanent home for Disabled arts
Together, these investments will help ensure that Neurodivergent and Disabled artists have greater access to professional artistic opportunity, visibility, community, and belonging for decades to come.
— Genesis Sullivan, EPIC Season 24/25“EPIC has been incredibly meaningful to me by giving me access to many different resources and also by giving me such a wonderful community I am so incredibly happy to be part of.
