Claire Bronchik

Historic Philadelphia is hiring actors and storytellers to help bring the city's past to life during the 2026 tourism season leading into America's 250th birthday celebrations.

There are two paid roles, storytellers who guide visitors in modern uniforms and history makers who dress in period costumes and portray figures like Benjamin Franklin.

Claire Bronchik plays Betsy Ross.

Auditions are happening now for kind, passionate people who love history and love Philadelphia.
