Alan Poindexter, the director of Peter Pan, guided kids and parents onstage for a look at the set and costumes in this free program co-sponsored by the Children’s Theatre and the Library. Actors Nic Bryan and Stephen Friedrich and three stagehands revealed the mechanics – and the muscles – involved in making actors fly and crocodiles walk. After the tour, participants created life-size images of themselves in flying positions that were displayed throughout ImaginOn. Watch for more behind-the-scenes programs for A Year with Frog and Toad and Alice in Concert.

Especially when it can be turned into treasure…and ImaginOn’s balcony gallery is filled with treasure right now! A group of local homeschool students created “The Landfill Art Show” as part of a class project. They used materials that would ordinarily be destined for a landfill to create useful or decorative objects.
The pieces are displayed at ImaginOn, and have inspired visitors to create their own! Every Tuesday and Thursday through December, we’ll be offering Trash Art Workshops from 1pm - 2pm. Drop by to find the trash in the treasures on display, and add your own work of trash art. |
