1) Read Up
Looking for something to read during these lazy summer months? Missing the buzz of hearing fellow actors share stories in the rehearsal room? You’re in luck! We have bunches of interviews, advice columns, and more right here on The Front Row blog, dating all the way back to 2012!
2) Log On
This summer’s calendar has gifted us an extra week to create and collaborate together in our virtual camps! We have programs for ages 5-12 running from now until Friday, September 4. Bring your family and friends along for the fun too; the beauty of technology allows us to connect with students everywhere. So far we’ve had students joining us from New Jersey, Illinois, Florida, and beyond!
3) Get Crafty
Did you know that Encore has a Pinterest page full of crafts, recipes, and activities inspired by each show in our production season? Check it out when you’re in need of inspiration for your next art project or trip to the kitchen. Cook a recipe inspired by a show (James and the Giant Peach, anyone?), create a cereal box set, or design a poster for your favorite movie in the style of an Encore poster!
4) Wave Hello
Encore is excited to now offer small, socially-distanced, in-person camps for students in ages 6-11! Click here to learn more about themes and safety procedures. If you’re interested, hurry! Registration is filling up quickly.
5) Put On a Show
Feeling nostalgic? Make your living room your stage and recreate your favorite scene, song, or dance from an Encore show you’ve seen or been in. I’ll personally be jamming to Disney’s Newsies from last summer’s wonderful production; time to dance (when) no one’s watching!
