In 1993 a group of very talented professional theatre people formed a company in order to stage a production that co-founder Vivienne Atkins had long dreamed of bringing to the Huntsville stage. After viewing a riveting performance of Sweeney Todd at a cast party in 1985, Vivienne was motivated to pool the talent and creativity of Huntsville's finest actors and technical artists for the project. The curtain went up, and Independent Musical Productions was born with its premiere production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. There was a company, a fine production, and the potential for a great future.

IMPHuntsville provides high-quality theatre to the North Alabama area by putting world-class work on stage, but we're so much more than that: We share a partnership with the Performing Arts Magnet Program at Lee High School and the Academy for Academics and Arts. We offer workshops during the season and partner with various arts, civic, and charitable organizations in program support and cooperative projects. We're a community of artists, administrators, educators, and business and civic leaders devoted to theatre, arts, and arts education. We've won awards for our work and our advocacy. We are supported by the Alabama Council on the Arts and the City of Huntsville Arts and Cultural Grants - as well as individual and business sponsorships. IMPHuntsville's status as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization means that your donations are 100% tax-deductible, and donations are always welcome! Producing large-scale musicals is an expensive operation!

We look forward to seeing YOU — at auditions, in the scene shop, in the costume shop, in our educational programs, or sitting in the audience.
