| Praise for Imagination Theater's School Programming |
| Imagination Theater's engaging and effective
approach toward bullying prevention is worthy of the highest recommendation. ... After Ease the Tease was presented at my children's
elementary school this past autumn, I had the opportunity to talk with some of
the students. Their enthusiastic reactions to the show were unforgettable. The
children talked eagerly about how the actors set up scenarios that they'd seen
in their own lives. They loved seeing how easy it could be to stop the
escalation of a tease. I’ll especially remember the comment of a third
grade boy, one I knew to have been repeatedly teased. He looked out past me, in
smiling awe of his new knowledge: 'I never knew I could stay cool and say stuff
like “So?”!'

Imagination Theater came to our school and did an outstanding job
sharing thoughts and strategies about bullying and teasing. Our
students, as well as faculty members, were impressed with the
professionalism and talent shown by the young actors.
-Heidy LaFleur, Assistant Principal
John W. Garvy Elementary, Chicago, IL
[Imagination Theater’s] Artistic Director was very
open to getting my input so that we could tailor a program to fit our school’s
needs. The assembly for the students was impressive. The actors were extremely
professional in their roles. Both through eliciting comments from our students
and including them in the scenes, they were able to get our students involved
in a very positive manner. The workshop for the staff was also well done. The
Artistic staff made us all aware of our own issues with respect and tolerance
and gave us some activities to use in the classroom with our students.
-Lou Mongillo, LCSW/ACSW
Wilmette Junior High, Wilmette, IL
We were impressed not only with Imagination
Theater's business acumen and professionalism in providing necessary
information (pricing and other details), script (for our review), and needed
documents (e.g., contract) to us in the course of working together -- but also
by the creativity, talent, and professionalism of its actors during the
performance itself. Imagination Theater was able to deliver a highly
educational (though not too scary or complex), age-appropriate production that
was informative and motivated the students into participating at appropriate
times.
