Inside Out and Backwards at Imagination Stage

Dates: 3/13/2027 - 4/18/2027

📍 Theatre:
Imagination Stage


Written and originally directed by Kathryn Chase Bryer and Natasha Holmes, with music composed by Tim Guillot, this interactive and highly visual production follows two children who use their imaginations to turn their room inside out at bedtime. While playing dress-up, a glove becomes a dancing fish, a shirt becomes a fantastical creature, and a sock dance rocks the closet. The production celebrates how hope and play can transform any ordinary space into an extraordinary world. Best for ages 1-4.

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.
