Caregiver of Adults with LGS - Nov. Support Group Meeting
2024-11-25 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
Join us Monday, November 25th at 8 pm ET
Living with LGS is a marathon, not a sprint.
Caring for an adult with LGS can be every bit as demanding as caring for a child with LGS, and the need for support is great. Not only do the needs of the individual with LGS change in adulthood, but, so, too, do the needs of aging caregivers. We invite parents and caregivers of adults with LGS to join us for discussion and support as together we face the ever-changing challenges associated with LGS. (Parents of adolescents are also welcome to join the support group.)
Adult caregivers, Geraldine and Elizabeth host a monthly support group meetup to discuss the challenges associated with caring for an adult with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

A New Musical: It's All Your Fault, Tyler Price!
2024-12-05 19:30 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Hudson Theatre, Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90038, United States
Emmy winner Ben Decter (Lucifer) and Tony nominee Kristin Hanggi (Rock of Ages) have collaborated on a new musical, It’s All Your Fault, Tyler Price! The work will get a world premiere at the Hudson Theatre in Hollywood November 7-December 15. Opening night will be November 14th.
On December 5th, all proceeds will go directly to the LGS Foundation!

The musical follows a middle school kid who punches his bully, Tyler Price, defending his epileptic sister. His principal demands he explain himself to the entire school, which, naturally drives him to stage a musical.
“When my family was in crisis—my little girl, diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, was having 100 seizures a day and we felt so isolated—I never imagined a musical would grow out of it. Writing these songs helped my family have difficult conversations and come together,” says Decter in a statement. “It’s All Your Fault, Tyler Price! is a fun, irreverent look at a family going through a really hard time—that everyone can relate to.”
“This musical is a true passion project for us. It’s about dealing with struggles in our families and how challenging it is to be seen by those closest to us,” adds Hanggi. “Through art, our characters learn to explore uncomfortable feelings—things that can be difficult to share or admit. We can’t wait for Los Angeles—where I’ve gotten the opportunity to launch other new musicals—to see our show!”
Sponsors and Community Partners for the upcoming production include Epilepsy Foundation, Epilepsy Foundation Los Angeles, the Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Foundation, The Children’s Ranch, and more.

Standing Together. Stronger Together. - January Support Group Meeting
2025-01-14 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
Join us on Tuesday, January 14th at 8 pm ET.
Topic: Celebrating You in 2025!
LGS caregivers do not give themselves enough credit so let’s start the year off right. Let’s talk about you and all that you managed to pull off last year.
Maybe you advocated strongly at an IEP meeting. Maybe you started a new job. Maybe you got a massage or managed to finally shower every day. Let’s begin 2025 by pledging a strong commitment to honoring ourselves as caregivers, and so much more!
