About

Groove into a night of imagination, joy, and serious fun at CMTM’s second-annual Imagination Ball. This high-energy evening supports CMTM’s Community Fund, helping ensure all children can access inclusive, welcoming experiences through play. Expect great music, a groovy live and silent auctions, playful surprises, and the kind of magic that is only made possible when our community shows up for kids and families. Whether you attend in person or participate online, your participation ensures that play, creativity, and learning remain available to every child who walks through our doors.

Current initiatives made possible by the CMTM Community Fund include:

Year-long Scholarship Memberships for families experiencing financial hardships.

Free or discounted Museum admission and theatre tickets for families who might not otherwise have access to come play and attend mainstage performances.

Discounted school group visits for students from Title 1A schools.

Educational Outreach programming to schools and community organizations.

Community Partner Nights for local direct service organizations.

Free Play Your Way sessions for families experiencing sensory processing challenges and physical and cognitive disabilities.

And more!

Your support makes all the difference and helps set the stage for every child to imagine and learn through play.
