As Halloween draws nearer, you might be searching for costume ideas (for the 5K, perhaps?). Not only that, but auditions for The Enchanted Bookshop will be here before we know it! Take a break from chasing ghosts to revisit some classic literary characters that have crossed Encore’s stage over the years.
This summer, many of Dr. Seuss’ famous faces found new life in Encore’s production of Seussical. [2018]
From beloved picture books… [Madeline’s Christmas, 2017]
…to classic fairytales, many stories from literature have found their way into Encore seasons across the decades. [Cinderella, 2015]
Favorite childhood chapter books have also gotten the Encore treatment! [James and the Giant Peach, 2018]
Modern fairytales have carried Encore down the Yellow Brick Road… [The Wizard of Oz, 1984]
…into Wonderland and beyond! [Alice in Wonderland, 2015]
Hopefully you’ve been able to deduce how thrilling literary tales can be. [Sherlock Holmes, 2018]
