On August 21, 2016, Imagine Project officially launched their theatre company with a fundraising gala. The money raised from the gala would go toward the production of The Tale of Turandot, which include the venue cost and for the Mask & Puppet Designer, Aaron Cromie.

The event was held at the Colony Theatre in Burbank, California, with the amazing & talented Jeffrey Landman as the Emcee.
The event kicked off at 5:00 pm, and various people in the entertainment community were in attendance, including family and friends who also helped make this theatre company a reality. There was food, live music featuring the band Shady Jaguar, and a live performance by the hilarious Arlecchino & Colombina from Studio Zanni.
In addition, there was a raffle drawing and a live auction, featuring 2 art works, one by Southern California’s own 3-D abstract painter – Irina Fahradyan, and the opportunity to become a sponsor to the 2 lead characters from The Tale of Turandot.
Sponsors:
The event could not have been made possible without these generous sponsors.
