A Beautiful Evening of Music, Dance, and Community

The Trolls cast on the Electric Theater stage in rainbow shirts and bright troll hair

Last night, Encore and the Abby Lou Foundation came together for our Trolls performance, sharing a beautiful evening of music and dance with a house filled with friends and family.

This partnership gave us the opportunity to create and perform together with an amazing cast of performers with disabilities. Their creativity, personalities, and hard work were at the heart of the evening.

Thank you

A heartfelt thank-you to Mike and Hilary Ramsey, who directed the show, and Nevaeh Ward, our stage manager. Together, they helped create a wonderful experience for the performers and an amazing evening for the audience.
