HISTORY OF IMAGINE THEATRE

"Imagine Performing Arts" began as a branch of Music and Play, a music and performing arts educational facility founded in Calgary by Darryl and Colleen Lindenbach. 

In 2019 Imagine was registered as a non-profit society and began branching out as a mainstream community theatre company in Calgary.  

During the pandemic, while theatre doors were closed to public gatherings, Imagine provided opportunities for actors and theatre lovers to enjoy some lively online readings of plays, through the digital portal of "Master Suite Theatre", which brought much needed creative community to the many actors and listeners who tuned in to hear stories presented from a wide variety of scripts.

Since 2019, Imagine has staged JOHN AND JEN (2019), THE WOMAN IN BLACK (2019), ALL TOGETHER NOW (2021),  LOVE LETTERS (2021), GONE TO GLORY (2022),  THE RAILWAY CHILDREN (2023) and THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW (2024).​

Most recently, the company has rebranded to become known as IMAGINE THEATRE YYC, and relocated digs to the community of Inglewood, building a collaborative relationship with the beautiful and historic Lantern Community Church.
