Encore is the light entertainment magazine for the theatre professional.  Launched in June 1991 by its editor and proprietor Peter G Foot, it is now recognised by the light entertainment industry as the leading publication that links the show producer and the venue manager. Besides providing that vital link, Encore has been presenting its prestigious annual theatre awards since 1995, honouring various integral sectors of the industry. This event is now established in the British showbusiness calendar (and, in 2007, was filmed by BBC Television as part of a documentary about the career of Sir Norman Wisdom)

Over the past decade, Encore has staged its regular 'Talking Theatre' seminars and 'A Meeting of Minds' debates which have become annual events.  In October 2006, Encore presented its ‘Talking Theatre’ Reception at the Houses of Parliament hosted by MP Don Foster and attended by representatives from all of the three main parties both from the House of Commons and the House of Lords.  ‘At the House’ is now a regular column presented by editor Peter Foot following his frequent visits to Parliament.

Encore now claims to have the best team of columnists and reviewers covering the sectors of light entertainment staged in the provincial theatre marketplace

Encore is distributed to:  Theatres, Concert Halls, Arts Centres, Holiday Centres, Producing Managements, Concert Promoters plus Theatrical Agencies and Managements, Television and Radio Stations, Companies and Organisations servicing the industry.
