Parents, actors and patrons of the arts need to check out the new space for ENCORE Theatrical…read moreCompany! Whether you want to come see a show, work on set or brave the stage ENCORE will prove to be a resource for you and your family. This company produces shows for children and adults alike. I've seen the first two productions of their current season. Speaking of season, as it starts to warm up couples around the Morristown area will be looking for something new to do and an outing to the theater makes a great date night. SEASON TICKETS are a great gift idea! Recently I helped backstage with the production for End of the Rainbow, a musical by Peter Quilter, which tells the humorous, touching story of the fabulous Judy Garland. While unveiling incite to the elusive abuse endured by this iconic legend of the silver screen and her unfortunate passing, this show will make you laugh and give you pause. The set was great. Lighting was spot on and under the direction of Interim Executive Director Dr. Dennis Elks, the cast of local actors kept our eyes glued to the stage. Tennessee is the Volunteer State and over this past month it has been an honor to volunteer for Encore Theatrical. It feels good to work alongside other creative, passionate individuals all focused on helping not only our youth but new and seasoned artists alike have a space in which to grow. People can offer their help to assist with costumes, set construction, painting, organization, marketing, community outreach and so much more (all while exercising an old skill set or developing a new one)! Theatre will always have a place in the world as its roots are grounded in storytelling and empathy which connects all types of characters across all walks of life and sometimes you see a performance worthy of an ENCORE.

It really stood out to me how hard everybody was working as several of the wrestlers worked a match, but also worked the ticket table, the merch table, and they worked very well as a team. Lit Dynamite came out to interact with the crowd several times, and when my Wife and I spoke to her, she just had a fantastic attitude. Brock Jr. worked the crowd a bit and he had several folks laughing by messing with them a bit. Perhaps the biggest thing is that my Wife had zero interest in this, but she left a fan. We both really enjoyed the heel promos by Ben Urkel, Jamaican Joe, and Zach Pressley. She enjoyed it so much that we are planning to see a show at their arena in Pigeon Forge in August. Thank you all for a great show and we hope to catch you again in a few weeks.

This was a fun little dinner show, the food was really simple and your typical faire for a dinner…read moreshow in that area. Fried chicken, barbecue, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and their signature creamy vegetable soup. The show itself was fun natured and the cast were fun and energetic as well as funny. Our server, chip, was hilarious himself, and that just added to the front of the experience. At the end, you're going to find yourself wandering through the gift shop, and I'm not going to encourage you or discourage you either way, but it's a great place to meander while you're partner or spouse are in the bathroom.

They did a $5 off on each ticket but any of the coupon books you see in town have a $3 off adult ticket coupon that is good for up to 6 people. The food was good but definitely not anything special. We were served fried chicken and pulled pork which those that ate it said was good. I had a vegetarian meal which you have to request when you get the tickets. They served me a large portion of steamed veggies and a large portion of veggies and rice. I also ate the corn on the cob and mashed potatoes and I had the creamy soup which was very good (but does have a chicken broth in it). The drinks are Coke products or iced tea. One thing to know, they stop serving food when the show starts so make sure you get there at least 30 minutes before so you can get seated and get served. The show was really entertaining! The kids (7, 9, and 12) were mesmerized the entire show. The have an entire pool under the floor which they dive into. You can buy beer and other adult beverages at the bar outside the theater. I also bought the group photo which was 2 pictures for $40. It was expensive but it was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it!

The show did not disappoint it was entertaining, the talent was outstanding, and the price was on point. I would recommend anyone that enjoys a good theatrical performance with music and dancing, this is the place you want to make sure that you get a ticket. Tickets are easy to get, usually available the same night if your plans change and you need to pivot. The venue is large but not too large, and they actually have some pretty decent concerts lined up at the same time. Check them out you won't be disappointed.

FUNNY IMO the old prudes in front of us left half way through the showing because they thought it was too risqué. God forbid two women kiss for a second- adding in details of LGBTQ+ had a plot reason in the end if they would have stayed for it. Looks like they found their way to the reviews here too unfortunately. Personally, I wouldn't take it with a grain of salt This got me interested in the lore behind Lizzie (had no clue about her previously). Would return again If you do some research many of the rumors surrounding Lizzie ranged from incest, gay lovers, and other things too which help make her an outcast along with the murder of her parents back in her days.
