About

Jump Encore! was developed in 2010 as a children's performance company as part of Jump Dance Company. Jump Encore!'s children's performance company has been producing 2 children's musicals for the last 10 years directed by Kristina Kennedy Babcock.  Jump Encore!'s children's theatre program creates theatre experiences that educate, challenge, and inspire their students. Jump Encore!'s program isn't like any in the area. Students enrolled in our children's production, rehearse once a week from August-May. This makes our program a great option for children enrolled in several extra curricular activities or families with busy schedules. 

​

In June 2021, Jump Encore! announced they would be expanding their program to include adult professional productions. In November 2021, Jump Encore! produced their first professional production of a sold out run of an immersive production of Into The Woods! The Production featured the areas top theatre professionals at Hunsader Farms here in Bradenton! 

​

In June 2023, Jump Encore! produced the area premier of Finding Nemo Jr in their new transformed theatre space!

The new space will be used for future theatre productions throughout the year to create more performance opportunities for our students!
