Show with a Pro
With the production and presentation of A Christmas Carol; A New Musical; we are revisiting Encore’s successful SHOW WITH A PRO program.
Show with a Pro combines the incredible talents of seasoned and accomplished professional actors with the up and coming generation of young and promising future professionals.
These professionals are cast in a few key roles in our show and serve as “Actor/Mentors” to the younger actors in the cast. Our professionals include Corbin Allred & Rhett Guter and more guest mentors.
We are delighted to announce that Corbin Allred will be joining us once again as our program “pro / mentor” in the role of Ebeneezer Scrooge.
