ICYMI:
It might’ve been Groundhog Day but our set was loaded with easter eggs!
Here are some of our favorites:
These door knockers paid homage to each show that Alex Sansolo, the show’s scenic designer, has worked on with Encore! Can you guess what shows?
The number on each house was 25 to celebrate our upcoming 25th season!
You might recognize these sconces our recent production of Frozen
Yoo-hoo! This sign was also featured in Frozen at Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post.
The Plastered Groundhog pokes fun at a local theme park favorite, The Plastered Owl, at Universal Epic Universe and the drink menu features the specialty cocktails served at the Dr. Phillips Center during some of our recent productions! Did you get a chance to try any of these drinks?
Groundhog Day - The Blizzard Donut
Disney’s Frozen - Snowman Summer
La Cage Aux Folles - A Little Cou-Cou
Hello, Dolly! - The Matchmaker
Upon first glance, these portraits of Punxsutawney’s town elders might look normal, but you’ll soon recognize the faces as our very own Cliff and Clay Price who also made cameos as the voices of the Clock Radio DJs during the show!
We make it a priority to include the “Encore E” in every set design! One location you might have noticed it at is the very top of the proscenium.
The second “E”, however, was much harder to spot as it was painted into the bar top at The Plastered Groundhog!
Next time you see an Encore production, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for some more easter eggs!
