Join us for this important Question and Answer session!

Queen of The Nation!

We have uplifting news to share!

We recently conducted a contest from those students who had previously participated in an ImagineNation production and who were included in our ImagineNation Facebook chat room.

The contest involved the students who loyally continued to follow our FB chat since the details of the contest were previously unannounced, random and subtlety posted.

The post asked students to submit a 60 second performance video by 9am today, either a song or monologue inclusive of a slate. The sole winner would be crowned King or Queen of The Nation and a cash prize.

After an intense and competitive process, we are thrilled to announce the winner and Queen of The Nation—Bethany Romo. Bethany submitted a
monologue that not only claimed her the Crown, but also the grand prize of $100 in cash!

We have posted her monologue for your enjoyment. Congratulations Bethany!

Schedule for 12 Angry Jurors... Join us Tuesday eve at 7pm on Instagram Live to learn more about the plan!

Seven Bride for Seven Brothers 2018

Flashback to Spring of 2018 for our blockbuster, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!

Video by Jett Latham

https://youtu.be/bJTjyuqLlZI

This was our promotional video that we posted for our production of seven brides for seven brothers. Enjoy!

Our students were devastated when we canceled Heathers but looking back it was the right thing to do. They understood. They were champions.

What are they doing now? Many are out of work, some are very bored, some are anxious, some are taking advantage of the down time to improve or learn something new. Many are simply waiting. They are experiencing a myriad of emotions but one thing is sure:

They are ready. They want theatre again.

There will be a large amount of pent up demand and energy to perform and get back to the theatre arts once the time is right. There will be an avalanche of hungry and eager students returning to audition and perform.

However, our community theatre companies cannot sustain this unprecedented environment without your help so we are at serious risk of not having as many options in our community once we resume, when we resume.

This is not a veiled ask for ImagineNation as we are tremendously blessed and will survive and re-open. We don’t solicit donations in our model but others do as the primary source of operating and surviving.

Many companies are facing a harsh and uncertain reality and the risk of closing is real. They need help and some are suffering silently.

With that written, we are also not naive to the reality that patrons have financial challenges of their own with the increased unemployment issues and a tough economy. That is very real.

But if you can donate even the smallest amount to the theatre arts companies then it will make a huge difference—more than you think. It will fuel the stimulus needed to provide these desperate students a place to return and release their pent up theatre energy. They must return to the environment they’ve known and cherished all of their lives.

So think of your favorite company and consider helping. Please pray about this and pray for our magnificent students who are the future artists of our community.

Let’s return to them to the stage they deserve.

ImagineNation Patrons:

It is with deep sorrow and regret that we announce the cancellation of Heathers the Musical. We tried in multiple ways to forward the production while balancing the priority of safety. In the end, the Corona virus and its impact to society, safety and governance could not be compromised nor overcome.

We hope to bring Heathers back for Spring of 2021 with the full force of art.

If you have made any advance payments for the production and related events, know that refunds will be processed today.

As we move forward this year, we will continue to pray for the end of the pandemic and for continued health for you and your families. Thank you, Nation

It will last one hour and all questions about auditions and the production will be answered!

Thank you!

Imagine7 was all about opportunity. We invited playwrights to submit their one act plays and selected 7 to be performed at the MATCH. For many of our students, it represented their debut as both Director and playwright.

What an amazing time we had with one of our best ever groups of young adults. It was a fantastic experience of which we will do again!

#Imagine7

The countdown to Heathers The Musical continues...we always talk about how we are not just about the show. We offer much more than that with our Lock In, our guaranteed learning class and our Broadway guest talent.

All of who you see in the photos have been part of our MasterClass series at ImagjneNation.

It’s all included in the experience as a cast member. The experience of training with a Broadway talent in a MasterClass session can be priceless. Cast members pay NADA extra for this so you want to make sure you a part of the cast!

We will soon be announcing our blockbuster Broadway talent for Heathers! You’ll want to stay tuned.
