An unforgettable musical adventure about friendship, growing up, and the magic we sometimes leave behind.

In Imaginary, one young student and their best friend share a world where anything is possible - crafted entirely through the power of their imaginations. Together, they turn the everyday into epic quests and wild adventures. But with a new school on the horizon, questions arise: Is it time to move on? Can imagination survive the pressures of growing up? And what happens when the line between real and imaginary starts to blur?

Filled with heart, humor, and a touch of the otherworldly, Imaginary is a whimsical and deeply moving story for audiences of all ages. Featuring a vibrant cast of youth and university performers, this production celebrates the boundless creativity of childhood—and the friendships that shape us for a lifetime.

In a world dominated by social media and social expectations, it is interesting to realize that reputations have been made and ruined by gossip since centuries before technology came into being. Indeed, in some eras, gossip and wit were almost considered national sports, and verbal sparring could be almost as brutal as today's MMA cage fighting! This play, set in the late 18th century, follows a group of socialites who plot to arrange the marriages they want, regardless of other people's feelings. It is a fascinating look at social expectations and how they can be exploded and manipulated by all for gain. Yet kindness, heart, and hope still can win out.
