"Our tenth anniversary season has been nothing like we expected," said Artistic Director Alexander Burns. "But, we didn't want to end the season without bringing back the popular Miscast Cabaret." Managing Director David Lloyd Olson adds, "we lost over $100,000 having to cancel A Midsummer Night's Dream, Life is a Dream, and Caligula, and your contribution towards this event will help us make sure we can welcome audiences back to the Sedgwick in the future with more epic classic theatre."

Fancy dress and cocktails are highly encouraged. The company is asking for a suggested donation of $75 per person, $500+ donations include exclusive VIP admission to the Miscast Cast After Party. A donation of at least $1 will give someone access to the link.

Preparing to begin the company's 11th Anniversary season, Quintessence's home is the historic Sedgwick Theater, an Art Deco movie palace designed in 1928 by William Lee and located in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia.
