Encore Stage & Studio's Season

 

From Nauck to Green Valley and The Day Nothing Happened
April 26-28, 2024

Encore’s Flip the Script program works with local student writers to develop original theatre pieces focused on Arlington, Virginia’s African American voices and encourage community conversations.

The Day Nothing Happened is an original Encore piece that explores the 1959 desegregation of Arlington’s Stratford Junior High School, the first school to desegregate in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Inspired by the Green Valley neighborhood, formerly known as Nauck, the play From Nauck to Green Valley, Transforming a community, looks at the history of one of the country’s oldest African American communities through the eyes of four fictional characters. This contemporary story explores and celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit that thrives there today.

Location: Theatre on the Run (3700 S. Four Mile run Drive Arlington, VA 22206)

Rapunzel
May 31-June 9, 2024

When Rene Schwartzbuckle spots rapunzel, a turnip-like vegetable, in Witch Izwitch's garden, she sends her husband Walt out to 'borrow' some. Using her diabolical henchmen, the Glumpwarts, Witch Izwitch terrorizes Walt into promising her his first-born child in exchange for his freedom. Jumping ahead to Rapunzel Schwartzbuckle's 18th birthday, the witch and her henchmen show up and whisk poor innocent Rapunzel away to a tower deep in the forest. Can prince Llwellyn persevere over the power of evil? Join us to find out in Encore's production of Rapunzel!
