As we get back in the swing of things after a busy tech week, we want to offer huge Encore congratulations to the fantastic cast and crew of A Fairy Tale Christmas Carol! Audiences were thrilled by humorous, heart-warming, and enthusiastic performances all weekend long. But that’s not all!
Encore cast and crew members performed for 1,440 audience members throughout the weekend – more than double the size of last year’s production of A Fairy Tale Christmas Carol! This huge accomplishment is certainly helping us stay in the holiday mood.
Disappointed by saying goodbye to Mother Goose, the Big Bad Wolf, and the rest of our kooky Christmas characters? Fear not! Keep the holiday spirit (or three) alive with our limited-edition Encore 50th Anniversary ornaments!
Celebrate 50 years of “Theatre by kids, for kids!” with these lovely gold ornaments. Reasonably-priced at $16 each, these exclusive pieces make excellent holiday gifts, in addition to being a cheery addition to your tree. Ornaments can be purchased online, by phone at (703) 548-1154, or during one of our upcoming performances. For your convenience, orders can be picked up at Encore’s administrative offices (located at 4000 Lorcom Lane, Arlington, VA 22207) or in the lobby at our upcoming productions.
Though our next show, A Little Princess, doesn’t open until January, we hope you all have a wonderful season of holidays and to see you onstage, in the audience, or in our upcoming winter classes!
