WHAT IS ENCORE? Encore is the production based class for theatre at Alonso HS.
Encore produces all of the theatrical productions, competes in district and state level
competitions, and has opportunities to workshop with professional actors and designers.
THERE IS AN AFTER SCHOOL commitment required to be in this program. Students
in this program are expected to participate in after school productions during the school
year.
Participation in Alonso Theatre activities is a privilege, and we believe that each person involved
is entitled to a positive experience. We want all students to do their best. As part of this
philosophy, all students are required to follow the behavioral standards listed below.

student to notify the director(s) by 12 noon of the same day.
• Appropriate and respectful language and actions should be used at all times. Good
behavior is expected.
• The theatre department expects students to be respectful of property; therefore, any
damage intentionally done to property will be repaired or the damaged elements replaced
by the student.
• Our program has a ZERO tolerance policy. Any illegal substances, alcohol usage,
smoking, etc may result in removal from the program. There will not be a warning.
• Be on time for rehearsals, performances and other scheduled activities. Make sure you

scripts.

complete clean up duties as assigned.

theatre, jazz, ballet, etc) and the name of the song you are using for the audition.

• The proper slate for a wildcard video is to share your name and be specific about what
you are going to share on the video. Submissions should be no more than 60 seconds.
