Imago imagines an equitable and empathetic world in which all people are free to explore, express, and celebrate their authentic selves. A world in which they are given full access to stories that reflect their communities.

Imago strives to create art and the containers that hold it through respect, empathy, love, equality, transparency, and dignity. We value diversity and respect individuality. We acknowledge the richness of everyone’s lived experience, and we honour and respect the vulnerability that allows for sharing and creating. We will demonstrate these values through listening, open and compassionate dialogue, and collaboration.

We value the circle; an open, brave, equitable space to disrupt patriarchal models, celebrate diverse voices, and engage, with courage, in essential dialogue about vital social issues with artists and audiences.

Mentorship is at the core of our activities. We believe that mentoring invites us to share our experience, engage in two-way relationships and make intergenerational connections, empowering artists to find and value their voices.

We work to create a sense of belonging and community, to build bridges and to forge pathways for artists to realize their aspirations.

Imago serves communities who want to think and feel together, be challenged, and who are looking for a space to belong.

We prioritize underrepresented people both on and offstage by developing and producing their work, providing opportunities for mentorship and learning, and making theatre accessible.We are proud to engage with a curious and adventurous intergenerational audience of first and long time theatre goers, in our region and nationally.
