Quinapalus Theater Company (QTC) is a nonprofit organization founded by best friends Grace Cowart and Keira Casey in their senior year of high school when they decided to put on the first-ever student-directed play in their school's history--Twelfth Night.

The organization's mission is to make theater, with an emphasis on Shakespeare, accessible, entertaining and understandable for genreal audiences. 

One of the core values of QTC is that, in order to do a Shakespeare show well, the actors and directors need to be confident in understanding the material and have authentic stage chemistry. And the best way to do that? Building a community where actors are comfortable with one another.
