ENCORE!

If you've ever shopped at Santa's Bag, jammed at the Spring Jam, or gotten a helping hand finding your seat from a friendly usher, then you have met ENCORE!, one of the most active volunteer organizations in the local arts community. ENCORE! is comprised of almost 300 individuals of all ages and backgrounds who play a vital role in the theatre’s success. In addition to ushering at performances, ENCORE! coordinates Santa’s Bag, one of our largest annual fundraising and charity events. They also plan and host the Spring Jam (Children’s Theatre’s annual gala), our annual Women's Doubles Tennis Tournament and the Spring Brunch & Silent Auction.

ENCORE! Members enjoy special benefits, too, like priority processing for tickets and classes (see full list of benefits and requirements below).

If you’re interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities with ENCORE! check the appropriate box on your order form or contact Bianca Delgado, our Annual Campaign and Volunteer Manager, at 704-973-2806.
