The mission of Imagine Performing Arts Fund is to enhance quality of life, and build a stronger sense of connectedness, through access to the performing arts, specifically theater and music, in our community and beyond. We know and value the positive, life-long impact the performing arts can have for all people and it is our goal to make this accessible to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay. It is our goal to create a space and community where this vision grows and thrives for generations to come. Your donation will impact students and their families, as well as the community as a whole, in numerous ways.

The impact of theater on young learners is profound and multifaceted, fostering holistic development across cognitive, emotional, and social domains. Engaging with live performances cultivates imaginative thinking, as children are transported to different worlds and exposed to diverse perspectives. The theatrical experience enhances cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, laying a foundation for lifelong learning. Moreover, participating in or witnessing theatrical productions nurtures emotional intelligence by allowing young minds to empathize with characters and explore a range of emotions in a safe environment. Additionally, theater promotes social skills as it encourages collaboration, communication, and teamwork. By providing a platform for self-expression and building confidence, theater empowers young learners to discover their identities and voice, instilling a lifelong appreciation for the arts and enriching their overall educational journey.

We thank you, sincerely, for your generosity in helping us carry out our mission.
