El Dorado County's Community Theater

Where Local Talent Shines and Everyone Belongs

Over 25 Years of Good Stories, Good Company, and Good Times

Theater That Brings Our Community Together

For more than 25 years, Imagination Theater has been part of the creative heartbeat of El Dorado County. What began as a vision to bring quality live theater to the community has grown into a place where neighbors become friends, talents are discovered, and stories come to life on stage.

From children’s productions and family musicals to drama, comedy, and variety shows, our performances are just the beginning. More than anything, Imagination Theater is a welcoming space where people of all ages can explore creativity, build confidence, and experience the magic of live theater together.

Who We Are

  • To tell good stories well in an atmosphere of trust, respect, personal growth, and challenge.

    We believe theater builds confidence, strengthens connections, and creates meaningful experiences for everyone involved. Our goal is to provide a creative environment where people feel supported, inspired, and encouraged to grow.

  • Theater for Everyone

    Imagination Theater is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone has the opportunity to participate in the arts.

    We believe our community is strongest when it reflects a wide range of experiences, perspectives, and identities. We actively work to ensure access to participation for artists, audiences, volunteers, staff, and supporters of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and lived experiences.

    Through thoughtful programming, open participation opportunities, and transparent organizational practices, we strive to build a theater culture that reflects and serves our entire community.

  • For over two decades, Imagination Theater has remained rooted in El Dorado County through collaboration, education, and performance. Community engagement continues to guide everything we do, and we look forward to sharing stories together for many years to come.

IT! CAST

Keeping the Theater Family Connected

At Imagination Theater, the friendships built during a production often last long after the final curtain call. IT! CAST helps keep those connections going by bringing together performers and crew from past productions for occasional social gatherings and events.

From casual green-room conversations to trivia nights, karaoke moments, and shared snacks, IT! Cast offers a relaxed way to stay involved and connected with the theater community between shows.

All past cast and crew members are welcome to participate. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult or older sibling.
