Please join us for our inaugural “Suitcase Stage” play: The Imaginators by Dwayne Hartford, playing November 22 and 23, 2025, only at The Off Center for the Dramatic Arts.
When siblings Anne and Tim move to a new town, Anne wants to seem older—and wants nothing to do with her little brother. Then the next-door neighbor appears: the fabulous Nina Frances Elizabeth Vanderhelden, master of make-believe. With moving boxes and odds-and-ends from the garage, Nina launches the trio into an epic adventure where they outwit the child-eating Mooklecratz, discover hidden bravery, and learn how much stronger they are together. By the end, Anne, Tim, and Nina remind us that imagination isn’t just play—it’s a powerful tool for facing fears, making friends, and seeing ourselves anew, and it invites kids and adults never to lose their sense of play and creativity. This play includes a brief meet and greet with the actors in costume after the show!
A perfect date with your favorite young person(s), this heartfelt and funny play invites kids and adults to never lose their sense of wonder.
Best for children ages 5-11.
45 minutes, followed by an optional 15-minute meet-and-greet with the actors in costume.
Looking forward to seeing you and your littlest loved ones at this very special event.
