The Encore Musical Theatre Company is thrilled to announce that JASON BRIGGS has joined our staff in the role of Managing Director. Briggs comes to The Encore with both a BA in Theatre Performance, and a master’s degree in Marketing and Innovative Management from The University of Michigan-Flint. His prior management experience, both in and outside the theatre industry, includes Flint Repertory Theatre and TRG Arts.
In his new role at The Encore, Briggs will oversee marketing, development, human resources, DEI, patron management and community relations. According to Board President Jamie Mistry, “Jason is well-loved and respected throughout the theatre industry, and we are confident that he will contribute much to the successful growth of The Encore.”
Also a favorite on The Encore stage, Briggs recently performed in the sell-out Queen Tribute Concert and The Encore’s hit season opener, Smokey Joe’s Café; Briggs also appeared in this past summer’s Back to Broadway concert, Broadway Rocks!
“Jason is not only a phenomenal talent on the stage,” says Artistic Director and Encore co-founder, Dan Cooney, “but he also has a brilliant mind for business, and specifically the business of theatre, which is a rare find. We are incredibly lucky to have him on our team.”
Briggs is equally confident in his view of The Encore’s future, stating, “With the support of our incredible Board of Directors, we are committed to creating a theatre company that embraces not only the community of Dexter, but every community in Southeast Michigan and beyond.” He is passionate about a theatre company that “embraces diversity, equity and inclusion in a way that represents us all,” and looks forward to actively partnering with area communities to deliver what he calls the power of theatre. His goal? To make theatre accessible to everyone while providing “top notch professional performances that you won’t forget.”

DEXTER CREAMERY SET TO CLOSE THIS SUNDAY FOR HOLIDAY BREAK: The Dexter Creamery would like to announce their last day of the 2021 season will be this Sunday, November 14th. After careful consideration they have decided to take a break again this winter due to multiple factors; staffing shortage, rising product costs, product shortages and a desire for a holiday break for key staff are all things we considered. This time will allow them to revamp the restaurant and prepare to make 2022 an even better year. Chris and the staff would like to thank you to all of the customers for a wonderful 2021. Please stop in and get your final fix of the Creamery before they close this Sunday. They are planning to reopen mid February.
I want to thank Chris and the entire staff for all that you have done over the last 18 months when this community needed you the most. You started by converting your business into a small convenience store to help meet the basic needs of Dexter residents when covid started, to reopening this year and keeping everyone safe. You showed us what community leadership looks like. You deserve a break.......a small one. Take care, stay safe and enjoy the holidays and your time off. See you in February.
