ENCORE ENTOURAGE Donors Program
Your contributions all make a difference!
|
ENCORE is a non-profit community theatre company that creates leaders through arts education and mentorship programs. At ENCORE, our efforts go beyond the development of theatrically skilled people. We recognize that our performers are more than the next big stars; they are the teachers, doctors, community leaders, entrepreneurs, police officers, and parents of today and tomorrow. It is our goal to ensure they carry into the world the openness, self-confidence, supportive attitudes and team mindset that they learn with us. Putting on great quality theatrical performances is but one happy by-product of our core effort and a natural outgrowth of the respect our performers have for themselves, their mentors and peers, as well as for the art of theatre.
Producing live theatre is expensive. Tuition and ticket sales do not cover the cost of theatre and rehearsal spaces, costumes, props, and sets, lighting, sound and staff. We keep the costs to our cast members as low as we can in order to give more people the opportunity to participate, and we rely on your generous gifts to provide scholarships and make up the difference.

San Pedro Youth Initiative
Five years ago, we came to San Pedro at the request of some wonderful local families who asked us to partner with them to help build the arts community here and revitalize the life of the beautiful Warner Grand Theatre.
Since then, we have touched the lives of so many children and adults, fulfilling our mission as a nonprofit organization of creating leaders through participation in the performing arts.
Now we have an even bigger vision. We want to make it possible for San Pedro kids who don’t have access to arts programs to experience the magic, and gain the life skills we impart by enabling them to participate in one of our shows. We are planning with several local social services organizations such as Toberman Neighborhood Center, the Boys and Girls Club, and Harbor Interfaith be able to offer 30 FULLY FUNDED scholarships for our fall production of Seussical to kids in their programs who desperately need the support and training we can provide.
In order to accomplish this goal, we need to raise $30,000 by the end of August, and we are asking our loyal ENCORE family to partner with us to make that dream a reality. We are really excited to be expanding our reach into this community, and bringing the benefits of theater to those who cannot afford it. And we hope you’ll come back in January to see the kids whose lives you have helped to change in a magical way.
