EPIC Players Los Angeles Presents “Pride Cabaret”

On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, EPIC Players Los Angeles will present Pride Cabaret, an uplifting evening of music, storytelling, and celebration at the Renberg Theater at the Los Angeles LGBT Center in Hollywood. Featuring queer artists and allies from EPIC’s neurodiverse ensemble, the cabaret celebrates identity, self-expression, and the joy of taking up space — onstage and beyond.

The performance comes as EPIC Players approaches its 10th anniversary season, marking a decade of pioneering neuroinclusive theater and creating professional opportunities for Neurodivergent and Disabled artists. While EPIC LA officially launched in 2024, the West Coast chapter has quickly become an important extension of the company’s mission, building community and expanding access to inclusive performing arts opportunities in Los Angeles.

As EPIC approaches its 10th anniversary, it’s powerful to see that mission continuing to grow across coasts.”
