John Tartaglia's ImaginOcean is a black-light puppet show tailored toward children in pre- school through third grade and packed with music ranging from swing to R&B to Big Band. A magical undersea adventure for kids of all ages, ImaginOcean follows three best friends - Tank, Bubbles and Dorsel - as they set out on a journey of discovery. It all starts with a treasure map. As they swim off in search of clues, they'll sing, they'll dance and they'll make new friends, including everyone in the audience. Ultimately, they discover the greatest treasure of all: Friendship.
The show's creator, Tony Award® nominee John Tartaglia, has starred in the acclaimed musical Avenue Q, for which he originated the roles of Princeton and Rod, as well as appearing in the Broadway productions of Shrek The Musical and in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. A 12-year veteran of Sesame Street, Tartaglia is one of the youngest puppeteers ever to perform on the show, starting at the age of 16. He is also the executive producer, creator and star of the eight-time Emmy®-nominated Johnny and the Sprites. His production company, Gables Grove Productions (co-founded with Michael Shawn Lewis) is dedicated to creating new, immersive and multi-media family entertainment.
John Tartaglia's ImaginOcean will be at the Orpheum Theater, 409 S. 16th St., February 20, at 7:00 p.m. Tickets start at $10, and are available at TicketOmaha.com, 402.345.0606 or at the Ticket Omaha Office inside the Holland Center, 1200 Douglas St.
