New York City Center to Increase ENCORES! Performances

BroadwayWorld has confirmed that New York City Center will increase Encores! performances from 5 to 7 for the 2011-12 season.  As they announced to season subscribers, all productions will now offer Sunday matinees and Wednesday evening shows. 

Additionally, in order to improve sightlines for audience members, seating arrangements will be altered for the new season.   Floors will be re-sloped and some seats will be removed so that audience members can have a more visually pleasing experience. 

New York City Center’s mission is to make the finest in the performing arts accessible to the broadest possible audience, while insuring that its landmark facility remains an active and welcoming venue to both audiences and artists throughout the year. 

City Center accomplishes this mission by celebrating and preserving the American musical theater heritage through performances, score restorations and other archival activities; presenting and producing new and innovative programming resonant of City Center’s artistic history, with a specific emphasis on dance; supporting resident and visiting companies and artists; providing educational opportunities to New York City students and their teachers; and maintaining and enhancing the physical facilities that comprise the performing arts center.
