'The Imaginators'

Suitcase Stage, Vermont Stage’s inaugural education program, delivers boundless joy and encouragement to area elementary school students. The initiative introduces future music makers and dreamers to the empathy- and confidence-building world of theater through accessible productions such as this month’s The Imaginators at Off Center for the Dramatic Arts in Burlington. The show follows siblings Anne and Tim, who move to a new town and quickly discover that their neighbor is a master of make-believe. Through the power of imagination, budding thespians discover the true meaning of bravery and strength, reinforcing the importance of using creativity to face fears both on and off the stage.
