In January 2004, Encore was honored to receive its first national
award! Presented by the Senior
Theatre League of America (STLA), this award for “Community
Service” recognizes Encore’s work with at-risk youth.
Director Eliza Roaring
Springs was presented with this award at the National Senior Theatre
Festival in Las Vegas, which she was attending as a workshop leader.
Following the presentation by Dr. Joy Reilly of Ohio State University,
more than two hundred festival participants joined in applause and
recognition of Encore’s work.
We have been wonderfully
appreciated and supported by our local community, and even throughout
Oregon, but it was very gratifying to be honored on a national level. |
