Hello & Welcome to the home of Encore on Facebook (Eee look at us on social media!)
Please spare a few moments and read about us and what's current with our little group. We started as a group of friends who, having performed with various local musical and theatre societies, got our heads together and decided we would like to do more....and more! We perform a wide range of musical numbers in our
own inimitable style...with a slice of humour and a sprinkling of fun thrown in for good measure. We aim to make you smile a lot, laugh a little and probably cry a bit in an evening crammed full of entertainment. We started performing at The Customs House in South Shields. In 2015 we were touched to become an Honorary Fellow of The Customs House Academy. Since 2021 we now perform at our new home, the Westovian Theatre. We perform here twice a year, in both May and November. Encore has appeared at other venues around the area, including The People’s Theatre in Newcastle, The Empire Theatre in Consett, Gala Theatre in Durham, St Peter’s University Campus and in the As You Like It Restaurant. We do our bit for charity too - having held collections after performances for the likes of Help for Heroes and The Alzheimer's Society, to name a couple. Every year up until 2020 we did a special one night performance in aid of The Rotary Club Jarrow.
