Celebrating life through story & song
The Encore Players is a senior-focused theater and performance company dedicated to creating meaningful, accessible, and joyful performing arts experiences for adults 55+. Your support makes it possible for older adults in the Pittsburgh area to step into the spotlight—not just as audience members, but as performers, creators, and collaborators.
