ENCORE!

If you've ever shopped at Santa's Bag 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 Children’s Theatre’s annual gala, Celebrate! (formerly Spring Jam), 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).

ENCORE! Membership Benefits

• Meet and work with other volunteers with common interests.
• Receive vouchers good for 4 general admission tickets to any performance in the 2013-2014 season.
• Opportunity to register for education classes and summer camps prior to the general public.
• Private shopping hours for Santa’s Bag.
• Invitations to the following social events:
  • Fall Membership Coffee
  • Santa’s Bag
  • Spring Brunch & Auction
  • Celebrate! Children’s Theatre of Charlotte
  • Women’s Doubles Tennis Tournament
• Opportunity to work with one of the most successful and fun arts organizations in our community!
  

Membership Requirements

• Pay dues of $50.00.
• Work as an active member on at least one of 14 committees (see below).
• Usher three times during the year. Ushering involves arriving one hour prior to a performance, taking tickets as the audience enters the theatre, directing the audience to their seats and remaining in the theatre for the entirety of the performance. An ushering shift averages 3-4 hours.
• New members only:
  Work one 3-hour shift (Summer or Fall) at one of Santa’s Bag Workshops, and one 3-hour shift as a Santa's Bag Elf. This is a great way to meet new people while learning about ENCORE!’s oldest and dearest tradition, Santa’s Bag.
