In its ongoing mission to develop new work that reflects and illuminates our times, ILLUSION turned to creating specific work that addresses issues important to children and families. ILLUSION’s Educational Program is renowned throughout the state and country for its effective combination of theater and carefully crafted messaging.

“The theater is a safe place to feel dangerous things, discomforting things or controversial things. We can rehearse “new realities” on our stage. ”

— Bonnie Morris

“I think people have an unconscious meter for what seems authentic to them because there is so much inauthenticity in the world. At Illusion we believe in theater that is genuine, theater that is about living now.”

— Michael Robins
