The Phoenix and Turtle Club is an ensemble of young artists dedicated to performing classical works of drama and literature. Held on Saturday mornings, these acting classes explore physical character work, vocal technique, and the creative interpretation of text. Each session culminates in a showcase open to family and friends.

STORYTELLERS INC.
(AGES 7-11)
Our popular youth drama class returns, taught by local Philly actor, playwright, and theatremaker Noah Mannix! What makes a good story? How is a story put together? How can we turn a story into a performance?

BROADCASTING THE BARD: SHAKESPEARE FOR RADIO
(AGES 12-17)
It’s Shakespeare, like you’ve never heard him before! In partnership with local community radio station GTown Radio, students in this class will work directly with Quintessence Theatre’s own Director of Education, Adam Pelta-Pauls, as well as GTown Radio staff, learning how to unlock Shakespeare’s verse and perform for the microphone. The class will culminate in an invited live recording of the students’ scenework, which will be broadcast on GTown Radio the following week! 20% of proceeds from tuition for this class will be donated directly to GTown Radio, a non-profit (501(c)3) organization.
