Quill Entertainment Company

Quill’s Emmy-winning writers create and produce original musicals that encourage youths, families, and communities to learn about America’s rich heritage not through pictures on a page, but actors on a stage. Our stories highlight not only the history to be experienced, but the values and ideals underlying that history. America continues to be the most exciting experiment in self-government the world has ever known, but if our citizens lose sight of the importance of our past, we will cease to be the beacon for freedom and human rights that our forefathers fashioned. More than anything, we make learning history fun!
