About the provider

Imagine Theatre says it is a community-driven, Christ-centered organization that focuses on fostering inclusion and empowering youth and families through theatre arts. Its leadership team includes Alec Martinez, Shelbi Wescott, Louis Kruse, Lauren Hall, Kim Wallace, Kelsey Wallace, and Shaun Martinez. The organization also says it is about creating opportunities, developing youth, and fostering community.

Being of faith is not a requirement for participation. Imagine Theatre does not teach or require students to learn any faith aspects. School-break camps include rehearsal supplies, an Imagine T-shirt, and a pizza lunch on the last day. No prior experience is required for school-break camps. Classes are for those 7-18 years old; 7-year-olds must have previously been in an Imagine Theatre Youth Camp to join classes. Enrollment in an Imagine class is not required to be in a show, but students enrolled in an evening class, private lessons, or the Thespian Troupe are guaranteed a role in the show.
