Imagine…You are standing in a large, bare black space with wooden boards below your feet and bright lights warming you... You can see the faces of the excited audience, perched on 140 peachy theatre seats… Everyone is here to participate - to be a part of new, emerging, spontaneous performance, in a space that’s calling out for creativity - with creatives (just like you) who are yearning for a chance to flex their artistic muscle…What do you do next? Just imagine…

Cleveland Street Theatre invites creatives and community members to imagine the possibilities …for The IMAGINE Festival from the 9th-11th of October 2009 at 199 Cleveland Street, near Central Station, opposite Prince Alfred Park.

The event will consist of a number of free and ticketed events. Free events run as part of The IMAGINE Festival will be marketed in conjunction with the City of Sydney’s Art www.artandabout.com.au
