Imagination Series
Art is FUN! But it can also be an incredible teaching tool. The Imagination Series is a family-friendly series that mixes traditional storytelling stage shows with STEM-related learning opportunities. Professional troupes bring their fun, interactive shows to the John H. Williams stage to provide laughter, learning and more. We’ve had everything from pirates to hip hop, and each show even has its own study guide to learn more before and after the show! These one-hour shows open new doors for children by introducing the performing arts to new generations. Daytime performances are perfect for schools groups while evening performances are designed with family and friends in mind.

Underneath a Magical Moon
February 27, 2025
Underneath a Magical Moon is set in an ordinary back garden where three children, Wendy, John and Michael, do a sleep out, one summer evening. However, it's a full moon, and Wendy just can't get to sleep and she begins to tell her brothers the story of Peter Pan. Slowly but surely they are drawn into the famous tale. They become Peter himself, the villainous Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, a bunch of Lost boys, a crocodile and a gaggle of Mermaids. They fly, they swim, they sail and fight battles, and conjure up Neverland in their own back yard.
The boy who wouldn't grow up has a hold over their imagination. They all begin to wonder about how they actually feel about growing up, who they will become, and what they'll take from their childhoods.
