About Encore Theatre

Encore Theatre was founded in 1998 and has been producing professional quality shows for the community ever since.  Today, the acclaimed theatre produces shows for children and adults year-round.

As one on of the leading children’s theatre programs in the Chicago-land area, Encore Theatre has worked with over 200 children and many have continued with theatre in high school and beyond. Encore Theatre places no advertisements for program registration. We are a word of mouth group, and one can only assume, people are saying good things about Encore Theatre.

Our program itself focuses on one-on-one training, knowledge of theatre, teamwork, self-esteem building, and public speaking. Encore Theatre works to better children’s lives and strives to better our program every year.

Over the years, we have produced over 30 re-thought musicals. Encore Theatre has also produced ROCKAPELLA LIVE at The Genesee Theatre in Waukegan and the original Little Shop of Horrors star, Ellen Greene across the country and in London, England.  Encore Theatre has also been featured on ABC Chicago’s ‘Someone You Should Know’ segment with Harry Poterfield.
