From: Theatre RowEPIC Players Theatre, New York's Premiere Neurodiverse Theater Company, recently featured on Good Morning America presents their neuro-inclusive rendition of A Christmas Carol from December 10-15, 2024 at Theatre Row, Theatre 5.
This timeless story follows Scrooge as the spirits teach him a lesson, and he gains a whole new understanding of the meaning of Christmas. EPIC will be sharing their own original take on the classic story. Weaving together music, dynamic characters, and classic moments, this will be one retelling you will never forget!
“..[EPIC] they have taught me so much and helped me navigate the process of pursuing professional theater,” said Joshua Cartagena. “I have been able to grow as an artist by gaining access to those classes and resources that have felt out of my reach in a neurotypical setting.”
“EPIC is an incredibly supportive environment to work in, not only because EPIC is dedicated to accommodating the access needs of their company members, but also because of the community EPIC has fostered,” Sydney Kurland said. “It is really powerful to be in a rehearsal room with castmates and creatives who have genuine respect for one another’s artistry and needs for equitable access to [participate] in rehearsal.”
This production is made possible in part with the support of:
The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, NYSCA, DCLA, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, The Hoffman Charitable Trust, The Howard Gilman Foundation, The Lortel Foundation, Arts for Autism, The Lily Auchincloss Foundation, and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.
