The magic of Encore Stage & Studio is back! Since 1967, Encore’s award-winning productions have introduced countless young people to the magic of theater.
Encore’s return-to-stage season is full of celebration. It’s certainly no small feat to produce live performances on the mainstage, but returning to these artistic experiences is vital for our community. And rehearsals are now underway for Encore’s world-premiere play, Riley O’Brien and the Lost Leprechaun!
After a row with her parents, adventuresome teen Riley O’Brien mysteriously finds herself transported to Ireland with Flanagan Hannigan, a Leprechaun-in-training, who needs her help to complete a final challenge. Meeting pixies, banshees, and other mythical creatures along the way, can they work together to discover the true magic of friendship and family? Written by playwright Kate Monaghan and directed by Elizabeth Pringle, Riley is family-friendly fun just in time for St. Patrick’s Day!
