Encore Theatre Company by Frank Elfring<br />
by Jane Elfring<br />
While Encore Theatre Company is dark right now, we have two<br />
training classes scheduled for <strong>November</strong>:<br />
Director Symposium Friday 9 <strong>November</strong>, 6 pm-Peter Thomson will<br />
conduct a director symposium on at the Encore Building. Peter has<br />
directed 14 plays for Encore since 1993. He has also produced<br />
and directed shows for the Canadian Broadcast Company, as well<br />
as UNCTV. The symposium is required for all directors and those<br />
interested in directing Encore Productions and is open to members<br />
and non-members. “The Boys Next Door” will be used as a practical<br />
example for play direction. A copy of “The Boys Next Door” can be<br />
obtained by contacting Al DelGarbino at (252) 340-0721 or email albertdelgarbino@mac.com.<br />
The script can also be purchased at Amazon.com.<br />
To get the most benefit from the symposium, each attendee<br />
should be familiar with the play.<br />
Production Symposium Friday 16 <strong>November</strong>, 6pm-Phyllis Phillips<br />
will conduct a class on producing at the Encore Building. Phyllis is a<br />
previous business owner, internationally-recognized company branch<br />
manager and an Encore producer. She blends the business smarts<br />
she learned from over thirty years in corporate management with<br />
some show biz sparks she garnered from working with other theater<br />
people. Phyllis has produced entertaining and enlightening Encore<br />
presentations enjoyed by audiences around the community. She is<br />
committed to helping her production crew achieve their highest potential—<br />
while maintaining a sense of fun along the way! The symposium<br />
is required for all producers and those interested in producing Encore<br />
productions and is open to members and non-members.<br />

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity is<br />
excited to announce the completion of<br />
its latest house at 108 West Broad St. The<br />
public is invited to attend the formal ribbon<br />
cutting and open house on Nov. 17, 10 am.<br />
New homeowners Ricky Norman and Gloria<br />
Saunders will receive the keys to their<br />
new home during this ceremony.<br />
Ricky and Gloria have worked very hard<br />
on their new home along with volunteers<br />
from the community. Neither had painted<br />
a house before but both have now learned<br />
that valuable homeowner skill. They have<br />
also worked alongside volunteer carpenters<br />
to hang doors and molding throughout<br />
the house.<br />
When Elizabeth City HFH acquired this<br />
house, it had been gutted and floors had<br />
been partially removed. McPherson Plumbing<br />
installed the new plumbing and George<br />
and Co. installed the new HVAC unit. The<br />
City of Elizabeth City provided insulation<br />
through its Weatherization Assistance<br />
Program.<br />
Homefix Custom Remodeling from Virginia<br />
installed a new roof after contractor Elton<br />
Sawyer and volunteers made other roofing<br />
repairs. Carpet Connection installed the<br />
flooring and Lowe’s handled our many<br />
hardware needs from windows and doors<br />
to countertops and cabinets.<br />
