I saw the cutest play - "The Importance of Being Earnest" last week at Imagination Theater. They're located inside the Placerville Fairgrounds. It was so funny and family friendly. The actors were charming and the price is right. The cast was so talented. The story was easy to follow. Perfect for family or date night! https://www.itplacerville.org/ read more

Greatly enjoyed "Rocket Girl" today for the secret & very significant history of Mary Sherman Morgan and her contributions to rocket science. Our first girl who discovered the correct mix to get our satellites into space, wow! Whomever claims women are not equally as capable of intelligent ability as men has long been... well, stupid. The music and lighting was well selected and the actors had a lot to do - multiple roles on most of them. Costume changes, personality changes... it takes talent! Thank you for selecting this play to perform! read more

Very clicky and exclusive people. Needs expert and effective leadership. .........................

One word...FUN. Oh and also a bang for your buck! This was my mom's first place to see a play as an adult other than a church. She and I watched them perform the Addams Family. It was SO GOOD!!! It must have taken them at least a year to practice and get everything down! How do they do it? So much talent! You cannot deny their talent! read more

We had a blast at the Frank Sinatra tribute. Great voices, great songs. Love our local talent.

Hubby and I just attended Noises Off. It was hilarious!! I recommend everyone go to see this production. This is closing weekend, so buy your tickets now. read more

First, you have to get into the mindset of "community theater." This is not your big-city opera house, no sirs. This is your local, small budget, somewhat volunteer theater house. And it is wonderful. I saw the musical "Little Women" here, and while that story did leave a strong impression on me in my childhood, I was not expecting to enjoy a production of it nearly as much as I did - not only that, but it was a musical, and I normally hate musicals. I can honestly say, this was really good theater. Excellent casting, seasoned performers mixed in with the budding talent of local children and teens. My mom was volunteering as a stage-hand (big move for a painfully shy woman), so she introduced me to the director at the end of the show. He mentioned that he tries to produce shows here that include the local youth - both as actors & by choosing themes that would interest youth. Well done, I say! Anyone who's ever lived in a small town knows how desperately isolated places need options for kids beyond coffee, spray paint, drugs & getting pregnant. But don't go getting the idea that this is a big charity or youth group. These are very fine productions, the acting was spot on, singing excellent, live musical accompanyment, staging was good (especially the placement of the velvet couch - go Mom!). The theater itself is comfortable and a good size (good thing, since the show I was at was sold out). I look forward to seeing another performance next time I'm in town. read more

They didn't have our tickets! They use some idiotic ticketing system ("Brown Paper Bag" or the like) that reports all purchases 4 hrs before the show. So we ordered 3 hrs before and *PooF!* no record of us buying tickets at the box office... even though Brown Paper Bag said "Congratulations!" when we bought tickets! Dang. You try to support small local theatres & whaddaya get? Nothin'!! LOL Lesson learned: Always print your tickets at home somehow - even if your new printer isn't hooked up yet! Sue Goodrich read more

A group of us went to see SHREK and had a blast! The cast was amazing. The attention to detail that this theater production puts into the performance is awesome. From the costumes to the performers the production was enjoyable from start to finish. A definite family must see. read more

A cute local theater. An intimate, homey, old school venue for local productions. Placerville has some excellent talent.

Just went to IT for the first time today and saw the Aristocats with my son. WOW!!! The cast was ALL KIDS and they were amazing! Seriously, these kids are talented and I hope they continue in the theater as they grow. My son and I are planning on seeing the Adams Family production in December. We go to many live theater shows in Downtown Sacramento and The Harris Theatre in Folsom and love them but I highly recommend this theater to anyone that wants great entertainment close to home. read more

I love IT! I have seen most every production and enjoy having a local theater to support. Fun variety of shows for all ages.

I have attended many shows at IT, the theater is very comfortable the shows are filled with awesome actors and the production quality is excellent. We are very lucky to have a theater like this in our community. Online ordering of tickets is very easy and reasonably priced, enjoy a show and take your family. read more

Community theater at its best! Imagination Theater is one of the gems of El Dorado County. I've never seen a show I didn't like here. After seeing IT's productions for the past 10 years my daughter has now been part of the cast for two productions in 2016. The other cast members, directors, producers, stage managers etc are fun, kind and of course talented. It's like family. Do yourself a favor and check out a show at IT. read more

We attended our very first play at IMAGINATION THEATER this week - A CHRISTMAS STORY the musical. What a treat! The theater is charming and loaded with character. The play itself was totally enjoyable - full of emotion and humor with a talented and fun cast and crew. We will most definitely return to see another play. Plan to be regulars! read more

Last night after Barbara and I had delicious fish and chips and house salad at the Placerville Brewing company we crossed the street and went to the Imagination Theater's wonderful rendition of White Christmas. It was done superbly. You could have not had a better time. I remember a great tap dancing performance and the singing of White Christmas where they pulled all the audience into singing. But all the dancing and singing was wonderful. read more

Small community theater at its best! This theater has been providing excellent entertainment with local talent for many, many years. It's right inside the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.
