Imago Theatre is a theatre company based in Portland, Oregon, United States. Co-Artistic Directors, Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, began collaborating in 1979 and founded Imago Theatre in 1982.[1]
In addition to family shows that have toured nationally and internationally with extended appearances at the New Victory Theater in New York and American Repertory Theater in Boston, the company has produced dozens of experimental original works locally. Their work is influenced by Jacques Lecoq. Triffle studied with Lecoq at L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq,[2] and Mouawad studied Lecoq-based theatre at the Hayes-Marshall School of Theatre Arts. The company is known for creating productions that "combine absurdity with the universal themes of humanity both humorous and poignant and told in a most unique way." [3]
In 1992, Imago converted a 1924 historic masonic lodge in Southeast Portland to a 200-seat theatre, while using the upper level as a workshop and development space.[4][5][6]
