Richard III

We are Hestia Theatre Company, an original theatre company, based in Philadelphia, that focuses through the lens of the marginalized. Hestia is the Goddess of the Hearth and Home, but more importantly she is      the personification of intimacy and inclusion. 

We are inviting you to join us in bringing to life our current production; Richard III. You know the story, if not, you've heard the name. Set in the nation's most historic and prestigious Burial Ground, this succinct production reimagines the timely, yet notorious play. With exclusive and unprecedented access to Ben Franklin's final resting place, Hestia Theatre Company teams up with the Christ Church Burial Ground's 300th anniversary for this very special Philadelphia Fringe production. But we need your help too!
