Printed arts programs built the foundation of Encore and have been our flagship product for 50 years. Personally handed to attendees at each performance, our printed programs offer readers high-quality and aesthetically pleasing souvenirs. Encore programs provide meaningful and essential information regarding the organization, performers, and crew, to create a unique connection between the patron and the performance.
We partner directly with each organization to create a custom book that is representative of each organizations’ brand, personality and content. In addition, we solicit and procure like-minded advertising to help to offset the costs of printing and distribution.
