About The Encore Musical Theatre
The Encore Musical Theatre operates from the renovated Copeland Building, now home to the Maas Theatre in Dexter, Michigan. With a history of bold main-stage productions like West Side Story and the upcoming Annie engagements, this not-for-profit company delivers professional musical theatre in a intimate, community-focused setting. The main performance space uses a true 3/4 thrust configuration to bring audiences close to the action, with carefully adjusted sightlines for optimal viewing from Rows C on the floor and Rows D–F on risers. Plans under the Our Next Stage/Copeland/Maas Theatre project aim to grow capacity toward roughly 250 attendees, expanding the theatre’s impact while preserving its intimate vibe.
Whether you’re a local or visiting for a show, our goal is a smooth, no-fuss ticket experience. We’ve got you covered with clear seating information, easy parking, transit options, and trusted partner suggestions for nearby lodging and dining to enhance your theatre night in Dexter.
Parking is readily available on-site at the Maas Theatre, with a dedicated parking map highlighted on plan and visit pages. Dexter is accessible by regional transit, including WAVE and TheRide routes connecting to Ann Arbor, making it convenient to reach performances from nearby towns. For guests staying overnight, consider partner lodging such as the Dexter Bed & Breakfast—The Guest House, which offers theatre discounts and curated theatre-friendly packages. Dining options nearby range from casual eateries to refined options, with affiliate recommendations to help you secure a great pre- or post-show meal. As performances evolve, The Encore team continues to share updates on capacity improvements and future productions, ensuring there’s always something to look forward to at The Maas Theatre.
