------------------

Who is the team at Imagine?

Managing Director
• Steve Boden – he’s in charge. Blame him – we do!

Creatives
• Iain Lauchlan – he’s like an encyclopedia of panto. Need to know anything about panto, just ask Iain. Oh, and he was also Finger Mouse, which we think is REALLY cool! One half of the team which created the phenomenon, “Tweenies”, Iain writes all our scripts.

Offices
• Sarah Boden –Business, Accounts, Marketing, Website, cleaning and other things no-one else wants to do.
• Louise Redmond - Production Assistant, choreographer, great internet shopper (wonder what will arrive in the post today, Lou?) and generally very nice person to have around!
• Ray Morrison - Useful person who brings chocolate biscuits and can turn her hand to anything so we like her a lot!
• Hayley McCarthy – a bundle of fun, and great with babes licensing, Hayley keeps us amused all day with her ‘obesssion’ with Legally Blonde, the musical!

Stores and Technicals
• Ian Plimbley - Clever Technical and Stores Manager type chappie who humps scenery daily (and does other stuff too!)
• Chris Ball - he's worked with us for 8 seasons mainly on sound (7 yrs as Loughborough Sound and 1 yr at Boston). He's now in charge of technicals for all the shows (lighting, sound, batteries, pyros, slosh, specialist gear etc).
• Phil Roe - fab chappy who is too tall for the office doors and who is amazing in our stores.

Props Team
• Debbie Mingham – Can make something out of anything, and it always looks amazing!
• Sophie Handy – handy by name, handy by nature, and a rather clever props person too!

Wardrobe Team
• Dawn Outhwaite - Sensible wardrobe gal, whizz with a needle and fab designer person
• Karen McLoughlin – Dawn’s fantastic assistant

And a man we couldn’t do without…
• Pete Varney - isn't technically Imagine as he runs his own courier company, Midland Express, but for the two months over panto season, he's in our office and working for us so much that we class him as part of the team!! You can tell he's at home with us - the first thing he does when he arrives to do a job for us is to head into the kitchen and make himself a cuppa!!
