Disney's Beauty and the Beast - Opens December 4th
Belle, dissatisfied with life in her small provincial French town, constantly tries to fend off the misplaced "affections" of conceited Gaston. The Beast is a prince who was placed under a spell because he could not love. A wrong turn taken by Maurice, Belle's father, causes the two to meet. The show runs December 4-27, 2009.

Mary Youngblood returns to IT! January 30 at 8:00 p.m.
Two-Time Grammy Winner and Emmy Nominee Mary Youngblood returns to Imagination Theater on January 30, 2010 . Mary is the first Native American woman to have received a Grammy Award for "Best Native American Music Album" and the first Native American person to have won two Grammys which makes Mary one of the premiere Native American musicians in the country. Winner of numerous awards, Mary garnered the 2002 Grammy for Beneath the Raven Moon and the 2006 Grammy for Dance with the Wind.

When Mary performs, it takes only a moment to acknowledge the profound spirituality of the sacred Native American flute and its historical courtship and wooing attributes. Her haunting music is much more than a song... it's liquid poetry, a prayer. Mary takes little credit for the intense emotions people feel when they listen to her music. Tickets for this show will be available December 1.

2010 Season
Wondering what productions IT! will present in 2010? We are excited about this next year. The schedule will be emailed to you shortly with information and dates about each of the shows, as well as some changes planned for this next season.
