Vicki co-founded Stages of Imagination, a professional theater for young audiences. Stages of Imagination creates original, character-education musical plays for children 3 through 11 for field trips and assemblies. Vicki's been the Executive Producer for 23 years. Stages of Imagination has entertained over 200.000 children with school assemblies, theater programs and a CD Audio Adventure series. Two Audio Adventures have received Parents' Choice Awards and "Wooden Heart", a video about childhood grief, received 2 National Telly Awards: Children's Audience; and TV or Cable Program for Children. Entertainment produced by Stages of Imagination gives parents and teachers the opportunity to provide quality character-education entertainment for their pre-K through 5th grade children. The CD Audio Adventures and a sing-along CD, Macaroni Rigatoni Peanut Butter & Baloney are unique because of TAKE TIME TO TALK, a guide for parents who want to talk and dialogue with their child about their own values. TAKE TIME TO TALK gives parents ideas on starting conversations with their child about the character value themes in the CD stories and the sing-along songs. Children enjoy the tuneful songs and interesting stories and parents can refer to the stories and songs in a dialogue that includes talking about their own values and life experiences. The shared listening/singing activity becomes the basis of many conversations with the suggestions from TAKE TIME TO TALK. CDs and the sing-along are based on character-education themes like: respect, cooperation, tolerance, communication, making good choices, determination, self-worth, problem-solving and many more. A valuable and unique bonding experience!

A DVD series of Stages of Imagination's live theater plays will be released early in 2013. The DVD series also is accompanied by TAKE TIME TO TALK. Details are at www.stagesofimagination.org.
