POLICY STATEMENT

Encore is a non-profit organization comprised of children from Kindergarten through 12th grade from Berks, Pennsylvania and the surrounding counties. The goal of this group is to enable its members to gain experience in all aspects of the performing arts.

Encore currently offers its members the opportunity to participate in on-stage and touring theatrical/musical productions. In the future, Encore plans to provide hands on training in both the performing arts and technical aspects of a musical/theatrical production. The members will strengthen and improve their project management and team working skills (communication, cooperation, planning, etc.) by participating in on-stage as well as technical aspects of theater including assistant directing, choreography, stage management, costume design, light and sound.

Encore will be supported by membership dues and fundraising as well as pursuing local corporate sponsorship and grants
