Encore: Performance Company
Year-round conservatory-style musical theatre training for dedicated performers seeking professional-level growth beyond traditional productions.
Professional Musical Theatre Development
Encore is DAMPA's premier year-round Musical Theatre Performance Company, designed for serious young performers who want to continue growing between productions while exploring a fresh, creative approach to musical theatre performance.
🎭 Broadway. Reimagined.
Rather than recreating Broadway exactly as you've seen it before, Encore takes songs from today's most beloved musicals and transforms them into intimate, singer-focused arrangements that highlight storytelling, musicianship, and vocal artistry. Think Broadway meets Tiny Desk.
Alongside preparing these unique performances, students receive weekly conservatory-style coaching, developing their skills as a performing singer & actor by coaching;
- Vocal technique & healthy singing
- Audition preparation
- Acting through song, character development & scene work
- Musical theatre repertoire
- Ensemble performance
- Microphone technique & live performance skills
- Professional rehearsal habits for on & off the stage
Individualized Coaching in a Group Environment
With enrollment intentionally limited to just 6–8 performers, every student benefits from individualized coaching, detailed feedback, and meaningful performance opportunities in a supportive ensemble environment. Each semester culminates in an intimate live showcase where family and friends experience Broadway music in an entirely new way.
