Imagination Stage, a leading theatre dedicated to youth development through the arts, is set to launch a national Educational Theatre Program in partnership with Kaiser Permanente. Starting October 2025, the program will deliver live theatre and workshops focusing on children's mental health to schools across the U.S. and Hawaii, aiming to reach over 65,000 students annually. Chief Artistic Programming Officer Joanne Lamparter emphasizes the goal of using theatre to foster conversations about emotional well-being while providing educators with valuable strategies for supporting students.



Imagination Stage Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Imagination Stage was founded as BAPA (Bethesda Academy of Performing Arts) in 1979 in response to the urgent need for arts education for young people. The company was renamed Imagination Stage in 2001 in anticipation of its move to its downtown Bethesda theatre arts center in 2003. Imagination Stage has grown from a handful of children in a single classroom to a full-spectrum theatre arts organization, with theatre productions by professional actors and artists. Unlike most children’s theatre companies, Imagination Stage commissions new works for children every year. These productions have been recognized with awards and productions by other companies around the world.
