We've taught over 10,000 students in the past 25 years
Theatre of the Imagination is where it really all started for me. Mr. Miles always pushed me to be crazy and daring and fearless and was always gentle when suggesting that I didn't need to say everyone else's lines, even if I knew them.
He also introduced me to the idea that sometimes the most fun material to perform is the stuff you write for yourself. I do not think that I knew what an Emmy was when I played Mrs. Claus in the Upper School Music Room in 2nd grade... (in a show with a perfect running bit that Santa would just come on stage and snore) but I am forever grateful for him and Theatre of the Imagination and share this honor and my career wholeheartedly with them.
I have many favorite Theatre of the Imagination bits but I think my fave that Mr. Miles taught me (while playing a character called Evilus Mostus) was a progressively louder evil laugh hahahHAHAHAAAAHAAAHAAAA that ends in a hacking cough. 10/10, no notes, always funny, love it forever.
Thank you Miles. Thank you Theatre of the Imagination. An award is nice and a huge honor, but my real joy is that I basically get to do after school theatre for my whole job. Thank you thank you thank you.
We are so very proud of Taylor, who recently won an Emmy for "Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series" for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
When I was at the Theater of the Imagination, I felt at home with other kids that liked performing, just like me. And I loved the fun costumes, (I got to be an evil taco!).
This was my third KC drama camp experience, and my favorite by far. I liked how everyone got good roles, and how Mr. Miles made camp fun and easy. There wasn’t any competition, everyone supported each other.
Now I am on Broadway, where I starred in "A Bronx Tale" and "School of Rock: The Musical", also "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on Netflix.
Thanks for starting my acting path!
Drama brings people together. I started TI not knowing anyone, and by the end of the first day, I had two new best friends. One is my law firm partner today!
I love how we got to be goofy all the time. We learned, but it didn’t feel like school. The teachers were great, nobody was ever the “Third Xmas Tree From The Left”.
I was never shy, always the drama queen. TI taught me to work together with others to tell a story. These tools serve me well as a lawyer. I cherish my memories of drama camp!
I would not be where I am today without this camp. As a child I was a wallflower, wanting to bloom but too nervous to try. My mom enrolled me in several drama camps, but none clicked. Then I found my place!
I really liked having no auditions. I was six and I wanted to be a princess AND a ninja! Mr. Miles wrote that part just for me, and I karate chopped my way through the play with the biggest smile on my face. I found the stage where I could be myself, silly and weird.
Now I run a PR firm in LA, giving speeches and making commercials. I can still hear Mr Miles telling me, “You can do it! Make it happen.”
Thank you, Theatre of the Imagination, for helping this drama nerd make it happen.
My time at Theatre of the Imagination made me feel unstoppable! It gave me the confidence I needed to spread my funny wings and fly.
From making movies to acting on stage, it let me stretch my creative muscles. Now I work as a full-time improviser in Chicago. Who knew you could be weird for a living?
Mr Miles and his excellent staff pass on their extensive knowledge of theater with such energy and love that it raises the game for everyone.
Thank you, Theatre of the Imagination, for making my childhood so much fun!
