What is Encore?

Founded by Carrboro High School parents who believe a thriving arts program is essential for a comprehensive high school education, Encore! is composed of parents, students, administrators, teachers, and community members who support theatre at Carrboro High School. Our vision is to enable the theatre program to grow as an integral part of the area's vibrant Arts community. Encore! provides enrichment opportunities, financial support, and logistical assistance for the Carrboro High School JAG Theatre program.

Students who participate in the Performing Arts gain essential lifelong skills such as teamwork, persistence, discipline, responsibility, reliability, time management, problem solving, and courage.  They also develop specific talents such as performing for an audience and public speaking, express their creativity, make friends across grade levels, and have positive experiences they will remember throughout their entire lives.  Donations of volunteer time and resources are critical to keep these rich opportunities available.
