Liz Callaway coaches a singer on a song for the stage. Encore is pleased to host Ms. Foster in our third year of bringing Broadway artists to the Lakeway Area. Encore’s Masterworks Series was formed in 2008 to bring professionals from the industry to our area so our performers and students can work one-on-one with the artists and learn more about show business and what it takes to perform on Broadway and professional theatre. The artists lead a masterclass that consists of Encore performers performing and receiving feedback.
Marin Mazzie, Jason Danieley, and David Loud hold a question and answer session with Encore performers. Each artist also gives a one-night only concert that is open to the public. Our audiences and patrons get the chance to meet each artist.
In 2008, we were pleased to host Liz Callaway and Musical Director Alex Rybeck.
In 2009, husband and wife duo Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley were our special guests, along with Musical Director David Loud.
Jason Danieley works with student Matthew Mimbs on a musical number.
