Imagine That is responsible for helping youth deal with difficult and serious issues (such as substance abuse, violence, sexuality, and much more). These issues are addressed through a unique form of expression, improvisational theatre. Cast members are able to act out situations and explore with possible solutions through the art of theatre and the use of improvisation interactively with the audience. 
Successful theatre impacts audience members. Imagine That takes on the task of opening the minds of youth and adults by addressing social issues in a safe environment, encouraging open discussion, evoking emotional responses, and inspiring positive change.
Theatre can be used as a vehicle for growth and understanding.  Discussing these powerful scenes about difficult issues help youth and adults voice their thoughts and opinions, often challenging people for discussion. These conversations open the door to the possibility of audience members adopting new view points, attitudes, opinions, and behaviors.
Imagine That performs throughout South Carolina and other states at various schools, churches, community events, conferences, group homes, and other organizations. The original troupe, consisting of 10 cast members, was formed in the summer of 1994. It was developed as an innovative way to reach audiences through eye-opening dramatic presentations.

For those of you that have seen us perform, one of our most popular scenes is "The Dance". This scene has become so popular over the years and we've have had such a demand for it, we filmed a training video based on the scene.
