Paper Doll Ensemble

Save the Date: MURDERED DARLINGS!!
September 26 at 7pm at Deep End Studios

This Fringe, we’re bringing an eclectic evening of songs, monologues, and scenes created by Paper Doll Ensemble from 2017 to present that never made it into our full-length shows. For one night only, these “Murdered Darlings” rise from the cutting room floor to take the stage for the first... and maybe last time.

Not your average bar crawl 🍻

The 2nd Place Race turns Rittenhouse into a live-action game night filled with clues, trades, challenges, and unexpected twists, all in pursuit of the most coveted finish of all: second place.

Whether you’re competitive or just here for the vibes, this is one of the most fun nights out in Philly.

PDE co-founder gets vulnerable with Bold Journey Mag!

"Recently, I had a moment that made me laugh and feel proud at the same time while teaching an Independence Awards workshop with my dear friend Sara Quagliata at Ensemble Arts Philly. We were representing Paper Doll Ensemble, leading a devising and improvising workshop for a group of high school students. We were wearing t-shirts from our most recent show, Pinky Promise, which is set in 2005. I made the mistake of asking how many of them were born after 2005, and every single hand went up. It was a very humbling reminder of my age.

What followed was pure joy. The students dove into their improvised scenes with fearlessness and humor. Their creativity and willingness to play reminded me why I love working with young artists and why theatre continues to feel so alive. I laughed a lot that day, and I left feeling incredibly energized and proud." - Grayce Carson
