OPAS Encore! is a non-profit organization that promotes and supports OPAS at Texas A&M University through fundraising and educational activities designed to enhance appreciation for the performing arts. Originally called the OPAS Guild, the partnership with OPAS began in 1973, and throughout the years became more focused on the introduction of the arts to local children. Today our efforts provide students at over 40 campuses in seven counties throughout the Brazos Valley the opportunity to experience live theater performances at Rudder Theater. OPAS Gala is Encore’s primary fundraising event, held each year in January.
