Disney-Themed Cabaret to Benefit Neuro-Diverse Artists in Los Angeles
EPIC Players Los Angeles will present “Once Upon a Cabaret,” a Disney-themed musical evening designed to showcase the talents of neuro-diverse performers, on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at the Barnsdall Art Theater in Hollywood.
The performance will feature a VIP reception at 5:30 PM, with the show beginning at 7:00 PM. Among the performers will be reality television star Abby Romeo (Love on the Spectrum), alongside special guests Kristen Bell and Josh Gad, with appearances by Trent Mills and Isabella De Souza Moore. The event aims to increase critical employment opportunities and inclusion within the performing arts for individuals with developmental disabilities.
“At EPIC, we believe everyone deserves the chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated,” said Jessica Saul, Program Director of EPIC Players Los Angeles. “This cabaret brings together the magic of Disney and the mission of inclusion and reminds us that every story, and performer, has a place in the spotlight.” EPIC Players, founded in New York City in 2016, expanded to Los Angeles in 2024, offering free classes and paid employment opportunities to neuro-diverse artists. The organization provides accommodations such as ADA seating, noise-canceling headphones, and a relaxed performance atmosphere to ensure accessibility for all attendees, aligning with broader efforts to make the arts more inclusive, as highlighted by the Americans for the Arts.
EPIC Players Los Angeles will continue to offer classes and performances throughout 2026, building on its mission to break down social stigmas and champion neuro-diversity in the arts.
