THE IMAGINATORS A Make Believe Adventure Of Epic Proportions
A Make-Believe Adventure of Epic Proportions Returns!
Florida Repertory Theatre announced that its popular Lunchbox Theatre Series continues in February with a make-believe adventure about the power of using your imagination. Perfect for kids of all ages, The Imaginators plays Feb. 17 and 18 at 11am in the Arcade Theatre, and the $12 admission price includes the performance, lunch and an interactive post-show workshop.
In The Imaginators, Tim and his big sister, Anne, just moved to a new town, and they don’t know any of the kids in their new neighborhood. Afraid she’ll get picked on, Anne doesn’t want to be seen playing “childish” games with her kid brother. But when they meet the girl from next door – the fabulous Nina Frances Elizabeth Vanderhelden – she takes Tim and a reluctant Anne on an epic make-believe adventure! Using only moving boxes and the stuff they find inside them, the three heroes battle a child-eating monster, and discover their strengths, the value of cooperation, individuality, and the unlimited power of their own imaginations. This inventive and exciting play is a journey into a forgotten world of creativity and fantasy that we ALL possess – if we just know where to look for it.
In addition to the Saturday morning performance designed to give families a day at the theatre, The Imaginators is also playing on Friday, February 17 at 11am. This special Friday morning performance is custom-designed as a field trip opportunity for schools, day cares and other groups interested in supplementing their arts curriculum. Both performances include a bagged lunch from Florida Rep's restaurant partner, the Morgan House, a post-show discussion with the actors and an interactive workshop with the Edison & Ford Winter Estates' Wild Wizard. To guarantee your lunch order, please make your ticket reservation by Monday, Feb. 13.
The Imaginators by Dwayne Hartford, plays in the Historic Arcade Theatre on Friday and Saturday, February, 17 and 18 at 11am. Tickets are $12 and available online at www.floridarepeducation.org or through the box office at 239-332-4488.
Florida Rep's Educational programming is generously sponsored by Grampy's Charities, the City of Fort Myers Public Art Committee, LCEC, Florida Theatrical Association, Parent & Child Magazine, Publix Charities, the Alliance for the Arts, the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, and Arthur Zupko.
