Now in their 31st year, they offer professional and high quality theatre to schools and theatres. They concentrate on classic and modern children's literature and bring to life the original stories in a participatory musical format. They are the only children's theatre company that allow the whole audience to rehearse and take part in the show as well as opportunities for some children to act alongside the professionals. The shows offer much more than just a visually stimulating piece of theatre and can be used as a useful tool for teachers to help children improve their literacy, listening and speaking skills. Image Musical Theatre are often told that their shows encourage even the most reluctant of readers to pick up a book.

With the accent on catchy and memorable tunes these shows have enjoyed remarkable success year after year. In the last four years over a million children have sung Robert Hyman's songs and with three shows always touring that number climbs weekly!

History of Image Musical Theatre

Image Theatre Company was set up in the spring of 1988 by Brian Thresh to provide theatre venues and schools in the West London boroughs and neighbouring counties with high quality touring productions. The production emphasis is on the adaptation of popular stories, the classics, and the great plays of the English language. In 1993 Robert Hyman joined the company as composer & lyricist and as the relationship between director and composer developed it became evident that a change of company title was appropriate and Image Musical Theatre was incorporated in 1995.  To date, Image Musical Theatre has written and produced twenty new family participation musicals. In September 2013 Ian McCracken became the new artistic director of the company and he and Robert continue to produce new shows.
