In preparation of Read Across America Day tomorrow, let’s revisit some of Encore’s favorite literary friends from seasons past. They’ll be coming back for another round during our two weeks of Spring Break camp, coming up next month. Public School Week runs April 15-19 with Private School Week following on April 22-26.
Encore last produced this classic tale back in 2012 with The Magical Lamp of Aladdin. Spring break campers will have the chance to hunt down treasure, ask wishes of a genie, and maybe even dream of flying carpet on Monday, April 15th, the first day of Spring Break Camp.
Who knows more about teamwork, friendship, and bravery than Peter Pan and his Lost Boys? Though this childhood favorite hasn’t crossed the Encore main stage since 1992, campers will fly off to Neverland for a magical day of fun on Tuesday, April 16th.
Strike a puppet pose! Last season, Encore audiences learned about honesty, bravery, and the importance of family alongside our intrepid puppet friend Pinocchio. Campers will follow his journey and explore their own dreams in camp on Monday, April 22nd.
Before you log off to dive into a great book, celebrate Read Across America Day by signing up for Encore’s Robin Hood mini-camp/play in a day program, adventuring onto your calendars on Friday, March 8th. This is a wonderful opportunity for young learners to experience Encore’s day-camp model, as well as make lots of new friends before spring break camp! Registration for holiday mini-camps fills up quickly, so channel your inner Richard the Lion Hearted and jump into the fray.
