Summer Encore
This year Summer Encore’s production will be “Aladdin and The Magic Lamp,” which will be adapted by the students and Cathy Archer. The students have developed three other plays including last year’s production of “The Little Mermaid.” Through improvisation a new version of an old story will come to life. The inspiration for this production will be the old folktales, which are the source of the best known versions of today. Summer Encore is a fourteen-year-old, four week summer theatre experience that is an extension of Rutland High School’s co-curricular theatre program. Each year students in grades seven through twelve come together to develop all of the aspects of a theatre production.
