Joining Encore Theatre Company
Encore Theatre Company is always keen to encourage new members to take an active role in the Company’s activities. Anyone interested in joining Encore Theatre Company can be sure of a warm welcome.
Encore rehearsals are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at St Joseph's Primary School, Pontefract Road, Castleford. Rehearsals for each production normally commence in February and September respectively each year.
Usually the main Company stages two productions in each calendar year; a musical production in summer and a pantomime in January, most recently at Pontefract Town Hall and Normanton Junior Academy respectively. Our first ever Encore Juniors production took place in May 2025 at Carlton Academy. Details of our 2026 production will be available soon.
Our current membership comprises people of various ages, who find their involvement enjoyable and rewarding. Depending on the choice of production in a particular year, we may have to restrict applications from new members.
