ASSASSINS Leads 2015-16 Buck Creek Players Encore Award Nominations

Established in 1970, The Encore Association is comprised solely of nonprofessional theater groups in which no one is paid, which operate on a non-profit basis, offer open auditions, and admission to the general public.

The Encore Association is governed by a board of directors comprised of representatives of each participating theater. Each year, the board of directors hosts an annual awards ceremony in the fall recognizing excellence from the previous theatrical season.

These awards are decided by a committee of judges who apply, are accepted by the board, view productions, and select nominees. The winners are then announced at the annual awards ceremony.
