ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
YOU
complete the picture at Imagination Stage! YOU are the reason we
exist – to
bring you and your family the finest professional theatre and theatre
arts education for children in the region.
Every year, we must raise over $2 million in order to provide
the programs we offer. Ticket prices and tuition cover only about
50% of our costs. Imagination Stage is supported by a constellation
of funding sources, including businesses, foundations, government
(county, state and federal), and hundreds of individuals. All of
these are critical to our success, and we deeply appreciate our donors,
who make our work possible.
This is where YOU can help…your support brings the
WHOLE show to life! Imagination Stage is 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization,
so your gift is tax-deductible and is put to work every day on stage and
in our classrooms.

ACCESS & INCLUSION
Imagination Stage's core philosophy of inclusion and opportunity
for students with physical, cognitive or developmental disabilities, or
children who are deaf or hard of hearing remains central to its mission.
Arts Access
Arts Access Theatre and Education programs provide children and
teens with special needs a venue to build confidence and artistic
and social skills in a non-competitive supportive environment,
through peer classes, performance ensembles, and hands-on opportunities
in mainstream classes. Imagination Stage welcomes young people
with physical, developmental, cognitive, and language disabilities (including
autism). For more information about our nationally recognized
AccessAbility Program, contact Diane Nutting at (301) 280-1637 or dnutting@imaginationstage.org.

Deaf
Access
Our nationally recognized Deaf Access program provides performance and theatre
arts education opportunities for students who are deaf, hard of hearing, or
kids of deaf adults (KODA). The Senior Deaf Access Company integrates deaf
and hearing students in a unique ensemble experience. Each year, they perform
children’s stories in a distinctive theatrical style which blends sign
language with spoken, along with music, mime and dance. For more information
about the Deaf Access Program, contact Lisa Agogliati at (301) 280-1630 or lagogliati@imaginationstage.org. DONATE

IQ (Imagination Quest)
Residencies in some of the most under-resourced schools in the
region provide our ground-breaking program, which uses theatre
arts as a catalyst to reach non-traditional learners, enhancing
student achievement, fostering creative and social skills, and
working to increase parent/guardian involvement. IQ is in its
ninth year of programming. For more information about IQ, contact
Jenn Book Haselswerdt at (301) 280-1648 or jbook@imaginationstage.org.
