Encore’s Junior & Senior Community Musical Theatre classes give young performers aged 8–18 the chance to experience the magic of rehearsing and performing as part of a supportive, theatre-loving community. Taking place every Wednesday evening, these sessions bring together students of similar age groups to learn the fundamentals of acting, singing, and movement while working towards performances that showcase their progress. The Junior class (8–12 years) focuses on developing core skills and confidence, encouraging every student to find their voice and learn how to work as part of an ensemble. The Senior class (11–18 years) builds on this foundation, giving older students the opportunity to refine their technique, explore character work in greater depth, and take on more challenging material. Together, the two classes offer a clear pathway of progression, ensuring that students can continue to grow at every stage of their performing journey.

More than just training, these classes are about creating a strong sense of belonging and teamwork. Students rehearse together in a fun but structured environment where every individual contribution matters, whether they’re learning ensemble harmonies, building choreography, or stepping into the spotlight for a solo moment. Regular opportunities to perform give them the thrill of sharing their hard work with friends and family, creating memories that last a lifetime. Beyond performance, students also gain vital life skills—communication, resilience, discipline, and collaboration—that will support them in school and beyond. Guided by experienced teachers who are passionate about inspiring the next generation, both Juniors and Seniors leave class each week feeling energised, confident, and motivated. Whether your child is just starting out or aiming for advanced opportunities, Encore’s Community Musical Theatre pathway provides the perfect space to perform, learn, and grow together.
