Imagination Stage Annual Free Open House

Our Open House was last Friday night and Saturday.  This was my second year managing the event. I was happy (okay, ecstatic) with the success of the additions to our annual event, including preview performances consisting of a compilation of scenes and songs from our next season of professional shows performed by actors to be featured and a dance party in our second dance studio on Del Ray Avenue. Most impressive, however, was the amazing turnout by the resilient parents of the greater Washington, DC region.  We had over 800 family members visit our facility during a weather event that typically freezes all activity in DC and its environs.  

The many who braved Hurrican Hanna got to watch shows (Beatrice Pickles from our StoryTheatre series cheers on one spectator is pictured right),

make puppets, take sample classes, get their faces painted, 

and meet our mascot, Nick Bottom   

(of Shakespearean fame!).

It's a long time until next year, but I suspect there WON'T  be a hurricane. However, I KNOW that there will be a lot more people and a lot more SERIOUS FUN.
