In the fall of 2009, Alexander Burns and Pamela Reichen established Quintessence Theatre Group to bring classic performances to patrons in Mt. Airy. All performances are held at the Sedgwick Theatre, originally a cinema opened in 1928. It's full of gorgeous art deco touches. The theatre group has performed classical plays like Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, and Moliere’s Don Juan. The theatre group also offers workshops for children and adults interested in dramatic acting. Visit the website for season and ticket information.
