August 26 - Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing) This is a show celebrating all the styles of music that were popular before the rock & roll craze took over popular music. We'll sing some jazz, blues, swing, big band and more ... heck, we may even throw in a barbershop number!
September 23 - "Battle of the Bands" Full disclosure: WE DON'T HAVE A BAND! We are a vocal group that sings to backing tracks - but that doesn't mean we can't throw down with some great rock n roll classics. In this show, we pay tribute to some of the greatest bands of the last 60 years or so. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! This show will be interactive, as the audience picks the bands we cover. Here's how it works: The audience will vote to decide which band we will cover next. Our two teams will each select a member to sing a song from that band. Then we lather, rinse and repeat with another band. At the end of the show, the audience will get to vote for the winning team for ultimate bragging rights!
Oct 28 - Monsters & Villains Halloween Party This was such a popular show last year that we decided to bring back a part 2! Join the Encore Performers as we celebrate some of the best villains, monsters, antagonists and all-around "bad guys" of musical theater! We'll have a wicked good time!
November 18 - We Wish You an Early Christmas Every year, we complain that retailers usher in the Christmas season TOO SOON, but now, we've decided to just lean into it. So, we're putting our show before December ... before the Macy's Day Parade ... heck, even before Thanksgiving! Join us for the first Christmas show of the season (probably).
