We want every child in the community to experience the power of the arts and arts education. No child ever has to pay to participate in our productions. We keep ticket prices affordable for families. We offer scholarships to all of our camps and classes.
As a nonprofit organization, Encore relies on the support of individuals, families, businesses, and other institutional donors to bring our programming to children and families in our community. Ticket sales only cover 30-40 percent of our production costs.
You can help us continue our unparalleled commitment to artistic excellence and access to theatre arts education for all children by making a tax-deductible gift today.
Thank you for investing in arts education in our community.
