Encore Youth Theatre

For more than 10 years, our Encore Youth Theatre productions have provided theatrical education and entertainment to the Fond du Lac community and surrounding areas.

Because of increasing participation over the years, Encore Youth Theatre has expanded! We have restructured our programming to increase the attention we give to each student and create more opportunities for our young performers. After a successful pilot in summer 2025, we will once again offer two different Encore productions in 2026: “Aristocats Kids” for students entering 3rd through 5th grade and “Aladdin Jr.” for students entering 6th grade through age 15.

Mentorship Opportunities

Many younger students benefit from having older kids to look up to as mentors and role models. We want to preserve these opportunities, so we will be inviting older students to be part of our rehearsal process for Aristocats Kids. If your child might be interested in serving as a mentor, please reach out to us!
