MERCHANT OF VENICE, et al. Set to PLay Quintessence Theatre Group in 2011-2012

By:

Quintessence Theatre Group is proud to announce its 2011-2012 season, which includes Goldoni's THE VENETIAN TWINS and Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, presented in repertory, Anouilh's adaptation of Sophocles' ANTIGONE, and Chekhov's THE SEAGULL. Each play is dominated by an ambitious young protagonist who strives to discover identity, truth and honor; each celebrates the power of the young mind in the face of adversity. Thus, Quintessence continues to build an audience for progressive classic theatre in Philadelphia, to demonstrate the power of repertory theatre, and to ignite Philadelphia's theatrical imagination with adaptations of classic texts for the Contemporary Stage.

Quintessence Theatre Group will continue its residency at the historic Sedgwick Theater, playing a central role in the renaissance of main street Mt. Airy, a thriving and diverse neighborhood located in northwest Philadelphia.

All performances take place at the historic Sedgwick Theater:
7137 Germantown Ave in Mt Airy, Philadelphia.
FREE PARKING is available at the theater.
