From the Desk of Samie Jo Johnson, Artistic Director
Dear Partner,
We hope that during this busy season, you can find time to relax with your friends and loved ones. At Imagination Theater, we cherish those moments to just breathe—they're rare!
But that's good news: What has been keeping us so busy lately is lots and lots of programs in schools throughout the Chicago area. (Below, you'll see a list of all the places we've been in the past couple of months. Wow!)
Whether in the city, a suburb, or a rural area, whether at a private school or a public one, kids need what Imagination Theater brings to them. Time and money are precious commodities at any school. Engaging Imagination Theater for a day of assemblies or multiple days of a residency shows a commitment to social-emotional learning, performing arts education, and a healthy school community.
It's also an investment in the magic of live theater. After a recent show, a student came up to me and said, "I really liked the play! Can I give you a hug?" You can't get that kind of interaction from an app, a website, or a video!
Not every school can afford our programming. That's where you come in: Your donation goes directly toward offsetting our costs so we don't have to say "no" to a school because they can't pay us. More learning, more magic, and yes, more hugs ... that's what your gift brings.
During the holidays and all year long, we are so grateful for your support!
Warm wishes,
Samie Jo Johnson
