Encore! Performing Arts is a Nottingham based performing arts company, striving to provide the highest possible quality of plays and musicals since 2015. We continually have a large-scale production on the go, varying in styles, genres and technicality. We carefully select each show to uncover and present new and promising talent, whilst thoroughly auditioning all cast members to maintain our enviable reputation of high-quality shows.
EMS is regarded as one of the area's leading musical societies. Whilst our history spans over 100 years, we remain a dynamic group, performing two shows / concerts a year with material ranging from the traditional to the modern. Since the Duchess Theatre burnt down we have had no permanent venue to stage our productions. Our spring show is now regularly held at Trent College, Long Eaton and our autumn production is held at another venue in the locality. We of course look forward to the completion of the Chatsworth Centre which will again provide a focus for the Arts within the Long Eaton area. Membership of the society is not just restricted to those who wish to step into the lime-light, there is a great deal of fun to be had working behind the scenes as well! One of the founding principles of the society was that of mutuality, and we are proud to have retained our links with the Eastern and Central Region Co-operative Society who are our sponsors. We also have an active Social Committee which ensures there are plenty of things for members to do throughout the year: to name but a few events, BBQs, car rallies and trips to the seaside all feature in our calendar together with the Annual Dinner Dance. Why not take a look at photo gallery on the "Members" page? There you can see a little more about the individuals who make up our society and the rich social life we share. If you are interested in joining us we'd be glad to hear from you - further details can be found here.
