About Us
Encore! produces The Richmond Shakespeare Festival, a summer season at Agecroft Hall in Richmond, where Shakespeare and his company could even have toured 400 years ago. The building once stood in England---when the Bard was alive! It was moved across the Atlantic to Richmond in the 1920's.
We also produce year-round series of performances and workshops ON TOUR, for students and public audiences of all ages which can be brought right to your door. Go to our Booking page to find out more about Encore! on the road, or give us a call at 804-232-4000 for information and booking.
