Imaginate Festival
Scotland’s international festival of performing arts for children and young people
In 2014 the award was presented to the Imaginate Festival for outstanding achievement in 25 years of excellent programming
For over quarter of a century, Imaginate has developed into the most important international performing arts festival for children and young people in the UK. It has brought the finest international work to Scotland and provided Scottish work with the best possible platform. The benefits both to young audiences and Scotland’s children’s theatre practitioners are immeasurable. Not only that, but, under the leadership of its director Tony Reekie, Imaginate has played a crucial role as a commissioner of and advocate for children’s theatre in this country. It is, quite simply, impossible to conceive of the existing children’s theatre sector in Scotland without Imaginate
