With a new year come new opportunities, a clean slate, and an excited outlook. Our January at Encore has certainly lived up to (and even exceeded) our great expectations. Read on for just a taste of the awesome buzz that’s been humming around Encore since the start of 2019.
1) We Flew into the New Year…
…with our first-ever Early Bird sale for Encore summer camps! Prices go up this Friday, February 1st, so enroll today to save some dough.
2) We Opened Our House
At the beginning of January, Encore hosted our inaugural Summer Camp Open House event. With six classes running and over 100 visitors, it was a wonderful way to get excited for #EncoreSummer!
3) We Sparked Joy
Like many others, this month we organized our spaces, organizing, sorting, and generally tidying up. Our conference room is like our laboratory – we want to keep it clean and ready for groundbreaking ideas!
4) We Sold Out the Shop
Thanks to an unexpected snow day earlier in the run, the closing performance of The Enchanted Bookshop was attended by over 400 patrons, with the final tickets sold just minutes before curtain. What an exciting end to a wonderful and sweet show!
5) We Visited the Haus
Kinder Haus Toys, that is! January brought a new partnership with this local family-owned establishment. Encore now offers an Early Childhood class for students ages 6 months-3 years on Wednesday mornings at Kinder Haus. Fans of our Tuesday morning program will love this continued experience at a new location!
6) We Got Back to Class
Encore’s Winter session of theatre classes began this month, with offerings on Wednesday evenings, Saturday mornings, and an addition to our new Monday evening program: The Actor Creates, specially crafted for students in grades 6-12.
7) We Wrecked Two Incredible Camps
Encore hopped back into the school year with two holiday mini-camps this month, themed after fan favorites The Incredibles and Wreck It Ralph. With a whole day of theatre games, crafts, and creative plays, it was a blast!
