IMP originally formed in 1993 with their first production, "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street." Typically, they perform in Lee High School (both the old and new versions), and go out of their way to put on high-quality, professional productions, often of plays other groups won't tackle..."The Civil War"; "Les Misérables"; "Jekyll and Hyde"; and the aforementioned "Sweeney," which they revisited in 2009, are prime examples. However, they've done wonderful productions of standards, as well (e.g. "Oliver!"; "Oklahoma!"; "I Do! I Do!"...and even some without exclamation points). Recently, IMP started presenting non-musicals in Lee's Black Box Theatre (where the latter, two-person musical was held), with well-received performances of "The Foreigner," "Driving Miss Daisy," and more. Here's looking towards their soon-to-come 25th season with great expectations. Expectations that will be fulfilled.
