ACTivate Imagination Now
Giving kids a creative outlet.
Who We Are
Our Mission
ACTivate Imagination Now provides your children with a fun theater education that's accessible for all children. We strive to expand youth involvement in theater because theater boosts your confidence and creativity in a welcoming community.
Why Theater Matters: Our Three C's
Confidence
Giving Kids a Larger Voice
Theater helps children develop confidence as well as social skills among their peers. While encouraging friendships in a positive environment, theater encourages kids to get out of their comfort zone and take creative risks. Through helping kids embrace creative "mistakes" on the stage in a safe environment, theater helps build character, public speaking skills, and emotional development.
Our Philosophy
Our staff is entirely made of volunteers. 100% of our profits from any of our classes are donated to a Black Lives Matter organization. We want to make a positive impact on the community outside of ACTivate Imagination Now and we believe the Black Lives Matter movement is of utmost importance. Additionally, we welcome any donations in addition to class costs, even if you are not involved in our program. Thank you!
Where We Donate
We work hard to positively impact the lives of others through our donations and curriculum. We strongly encourage giving back to our community and are very proud of the progress we're making. We've recently raised $1700 through enrollment and donations, which we're donating to the Black Theater Coalition. This organization addresses the lack of representation in theater, both onstage and offstage, and aims to increase the employment of Black theater professionals by 500% in the next ten years while removing the “illusion of inclusion.” For more information, visit https://blacktheatrecoalition.org/.
