From a first playful class to a full mainstage role, every Encore program is taught by working theater professionals. Here is a closer look at each path — and where it leads.
Week-long summer intensives where Young Artists rehearse a show fast and perform it live by the end of the week. Mornings of acting, voice, and choreography build toward a real production — the quickest way to fall in love with the stage.
Playful first classes where big imaginations take their very first bow. Young Artists learn the fundamentals — stage presence, teamwork, and storytelling — through games, songs, and scenes built for brand-new performers.
Real technique and real scripts for performers ready to step into bigger roles. Training deepens across acting, vocal work, and movement as Young Artists take on featured parts in full productions.
Full mainstage productions for our most experienced Young Artists. The Signature Series stages ambitious titles with full sets, live music, and the polish that prepares artists for whatever comes next.
Encore's audition-based touring company. Aspire blends song and dance into high-energy showcases, performing across southern Utah throughout the year.
Theater field trips that turn a night at the show into a lesson. Young Artists and families attend professional productions together, then dig into how the magic is made.
