Participation fees
Every Encore production and camp carries a participation fee. It is what makes a fully staged, professionally supported experience possible for each Young Artist — and we work hard to keep cost from ever standing in the way of a Young Artist who wants to be on stage.
What the fee supports
A participation fee helps cover the real costs of putting on a licensed production: show licensing and scripts, costumes, sets and props, music and choreography, rehearsal and performance space at the Electric Theater, and the directors, music directors, and stage managers who mentor each cast.
Each show lists its own fee
Fees vary by program — a week-long camp is different from a full Signature Series production. The exact participation fee for each show is shown on that show's audition page, so you always know the cost before you register. Browse what's casting now →
Multi-Young-Artist discount
Families with more than one Young Artist enrolled receive a discount. If you have multiple performers joining a production or camp, reach out and we'll make sure the discount is applied. Contact us →
Scholarships
Cost should never be the reason a Young Artist cannot take the stage. Need-based scholarships are available for every program, and the application is simple and confidential. Apply for a scholarship →
Good to know
Participation fees are non-refundable, since costs like licensing and costumes are committed as soon as a cast is set. If you have any questions about fees, discounts, or payment, we're glad to help — just get in touch or call (435) 414-0049.
