EPIC’s exciting set will feature music, theater, and dance performances from the company's repertoire, including numbers from EPIC Jr., EPIC Storytellers, EPIC Dream Roles Cabaret, and their highly anticipated mainstage show, Seussical.

Launched in 2018, the Big Umbrella Festival was the first large-scale performing arts festival of its kind, centering audiences with autism and other developmental disabilities by offering unique approaches to sensory-based and interactive artistic experiences—and sharing these learnings with the field worldwide. This year, the festival returns from April 4-20 and features artists from across the world, with expanded offerings varying in age-range and genre, all for Free and Choose-What-You-Pay. To learn more, visit LincolnCenter.org/BigUmbrella.
All events are Relaxed Performances, part of a campus-wide series providing a supportive social environment for individuals with autism, sensory and communication disorders, or learning disabilities. Attendees can enter and leave audience spaces as needed, vocalize, and move freely, creating a "no shushing" zone. Chill out spaces and visual art spaces are also available.
