About "Imagine That!"
|
|
"Imagine That" is an improvisational theatre troupe 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. "Imagine That" uses improvisational theatre as an informative tool to present youth and adult audiences with scenerios intended to discourage negative attitudes and behaviors, including the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Performances are designed to educate, encourage healthy attitudes and choices, and provoke thought.
Funding for "Imagine That!"
In the summer of 2005, "Imagine That!" lost it's funding. We are currently in the process of seeking grants / funding. Recently, "Imagine That!" has recieved a grant from The Mary Black Foundation and is now housed at The Spartanburg Little Theatre as one of their programs. Now "Imagine That!"s is able to continue to perform and do workshops. The troupe continues to keep going strong and we are now even able to hire a new fulltime "Imagine That!" coordinator again.
Broad Street Center/SADAC
The Broad Street Center (also known as the Spartanburg Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission) was established by the Spartanburg County and City Councils. The mission of the Broad Street Center is to reduce human suffering from alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, abuse, and addiction by providing and promoting quality prevention, education, intervention, and treatment services. The agency developed "Imagine That" as a prevention program and/or service where the cast members are a part of the Youth Advisory Board recieving education and information on drug and alcohol prevention. The Broad Street Center is accredited by CARF and licensed by the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). Staff are certified through state and national associations.
Puppet Power
Imagine That has just added the Puppet Power program to their season. The program consist of performances presented through puppets for grades k-5. The content is age appropriate and educated young children on how to say no to drugs and alcohol.
