Imagine Theatre

LA's Theatre for Young Audiences Imagine Theatre is a proud union house. MISSION Our mission is to strengthen the human connection among our youth by building an empathetic and courageous society that values gender equity, diversity, and civic engagement through the experience of live theatrical performance. VISION The role of live theatre is indispensable to shaping the way our children connect to each other and the rest of society. At Imagine Project, we push the proven impact of professional live theatre attendance even further by igniting children's civic-mindedness, by teaching them to celebrate gender parity and diversity, and activating a greater sense of responsibility to fellow man. COMMITMENT We promise to tell relevant stories that spotlight female heroes. We promise to champion kids, especially girls, and instill in them the courage to find their own voices. We promise to create experiences accessible to kids from all economic backgrounds. We promise to hire local artists and pay them real wages. We promise to produce plays that are inclusive of stories from LA's diverse cultural diaspora. We promise to be the vehicle for social change in a way that only professional theatre can be. Imagine Project is proud to operate at the highest standards of professionalism, creating theatrical experiences by artists who are members of Actors' Equity Association, Society of Directors and Choreographers, and United Scenic Artists - the national labor unions for stage artists. Imagine Project is a 501(C)(3) non-profit theatre company and a member of TYA/USA.
