It was joyous to see that the greater community of theater artists working to create meaningful experiences for young people is motivated by the deepest respect for our audiences. The young people that come to our theater's deserve the best possible performances; the parents and teachers attending our shows deserve content the aids and supports their children as their unique perspective of the world emerges.
Those shared values, along with the overall spirit of collaboration that reverberated throughout the weekend's events, was inspiring.
While those discussions of values, community, and our commitment to our audiences unraveled, Imagination Theater was busy reaching out to the schools we serve for thoughts about our newest show in development right now.
We want to create a show that addresses the topics that are most essential to our audiences. With that goal in mind, the development process begins by creating a menu. We want to know what issues interest you, what scenarios you deal with, where your community needs the support that Imagination Theater might provide.
Your ideas will eventually coalesce into a buffet of scenes, from which each school may select the ones of greatest benefit to their students. Please let us know what you would like to see on the menu by filling out this (very short) survey. If you have more to say, or more detailed suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments of this post.
As always, you can visit www.imaginationtheater.org to see all the shows we currently offer.
