Genesight Testing
The Genesight Psychotropic is a test that can assess your body's ability to use certain psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and mood stabilizers. Using your DNA, the test will analyze your genetic ability to process certain medications and give you and your doctor or therapist a better idea of which medications are more likely to be effective in treating your condition.
​
The test is simple to perform, requiring only a cheek swab to obtain a sample of your DNA. We send it to the lab and within 48 to 72 hours we will have a detailed report we can share with you. You can see a sample of what information your report will contain.

Behind the Curtain Summer Workshops
Kate Foley is the director of "Behind the Curtain Summer Workshops," a variety of summer day camps that allow children from the ages of 6-17 to explore different aspects of musical theatre: acting, improvisation, vocal work, and choreography. Behind the Curtain's workshops are taught by trained actors, dancers, and vocalists, including Kate herself, who is a current Theater major at Ursinus College. Kate and the rest of the team at Behind the Curtain are dedicated to instilling a love of theatre in kids who call the stage home as well as newcomers who have never acted before. Most of all, they want everyone to have fun expressing themselves onstage with their fellow actors.
