THE CLASSICS FORWARD SOCIETY
“Classics forward” – these two words carry the vision of Quintessence Theatre:
To bring classic works of literature and drama to the contemporary stage.
In 2020 the Classics Forward Society was established by a group of patrons who wished to increase their philanthropic impact and strengthen their connections to Quintessence Theatre.
You are invited to join the Classics Forward Society with a leadership gift to the Quintessence Annual Fund.
Your donation of $1500 will bring you into the Society. Other opportunities abound, including sponsoring
a performance, underwriting an artist, and serving as Honorary Producer of a particular production.
Benefits include:
Invitations to opening nights;
“Ambassador” vouchers to share with friends;
Priority access to special events, including an annual
New York theatre trip with Alex Burns;
and more!
If you’d like to know more about your membership in the Classics Forward Society,
please reach out to Victoria Sicks, Director of Development or via her mobile: 215.480.0469.
THANK YOU!
We believe it is imperative that classical theatre remains a vibrant and present part of contemporary American culture. As part of our heritage, classic stories should be revisited and remembered so that we better understand our past and its relevancy to our future. Quintessence is committed to exploring the classics through a contemporary lens. We call this “progressive classics” or “classics forward.” We do not modernize or rewrite the text. Rather, we allow for our contemporary aesthetics and social values to engage with the play.
