Latinx Performers:
Imagination Stage's upcoming production of "Tomás and the Library Lady" performed at @planetworddc in Washington, DC will feature four (4) performers and three (3) understudies.
The casting and creative team is specifically looking for latinx actors to play the roles of Florencio/Papá Grande and Josefa/Enrique.
Roles are open to any non-equity performer. All characters are played by adults who are 18+. Performers will be hired locally, therefore Imagination Stage will not provide housing, transportation or per diem.
Auditions will be June 1 from 12-3 pm at our theatre in Bethesda, and Interest/Availability is Due May 15 at 1 pm.
Scroll through these photos from the 2025 production of "Tomás and the Library Lady". Then head to the CAREERS link in bio to read more about auditions. #latineperformers #auditions #dmvtheatre #theatreforyoungaudiences #nonequityauditions
This weekend only:
BUT I'M A MONSTER HUNTER
A new play written by Rose Hahn
Conceived and performed by The Speak Out on Stage Ensemble
Directed by Kathleen Barth
Assistant Directed by Cameron Noel
Camp Creep is a camp like no other, where a group of quirky and sweet kid monsters spend their summers exploring the outdoors and playing games. This peaceful bliss is disrupted when three monster hunters arrive at camp, determined to fight the fierce and terrifying creatures they’ve been trained to destroy.
Best for ages 8+.
The Speak Out on Stage Ensemble program gives young performers in grades 4-6 the opportunity to share their experiences and ideas to help create fun, dramatic, and insightful new works for the stage.

We can't get over this moment from Jodi Picoult's visit to Imagination Stage! 💖
“I am living proof that theatre education teaches transferable skills from critical thinking to public speaking to an ineffable sense of community that any cast and crew share.”
Be loud, Jodi says. And we take that to heart.
As a member of our community, you can use your voice every day to support the more than 120,000 children and families we serve nationwide through making a gift to Imagination Stage
Your voice can make a difference. Give that gift to a child who will grow in empathy, confidence, and compassion. Just like Jodi, let’s show that arts education works!

An evening in support of theatre and the local arts 🎭

Guests gathered for a seated dinner alongside the organization’s closest champions and leadership. The evening then continued next door at Imagination Stage with performances celebrating young artists and honoring bestselling author and youth advocate @jodipicoult .
