Auditions “In Summer”
Encore welcomed over 110 students at auditions for Disney’s Frozen Jr, with over 20 coming out to interview for crew. With such a talented pool to choose from, our production team had quite the difficult job in front of them. They managed to narrow down the cast to around 40 participants, with around 15 students banding together to form the backstage and front of house crews.
Do you struggle with audition anxiety and want something to help you “Let it go?” Join us for a Pre-Audition Workshop! You’ll have a chance to meet some of the production team and learn what to expect in the audition room, so that, when the time comes, you’ll be ready to shine like the star you are.
Broadway Comes to Arlington
Encore was thrilled to welcome Angelina Mullins Prattes and Colt Prattes to host a special workshop for students at our Center Stage camp. These professional dancers are currently touring the country with Disney’s production of Aladdin. They took time from their busy schedule at the Kennedy Center to join us in Arlington for the teaching of some intense and fun choreography. Many thanks to both of these wonderful professionals!
