Encore: This is for students who have the commitment and serious interest in the performing arts and are available all week. Students will meet on Tuesdays as well as the other days of the week and will include some weekends and evenings. Focus on group/ensemble dance and vocals and be considered for musical solo performances. Students will also qualify to be considered for casting in Musical Theatre productions and touring show cast. Also, Encore students in grades 7 to 12 may be eligible for a DOE elective credit in Play Production.
