Our Mission
We are dedicated to providing cause-based organizations and individuals the opportunity for fundraising through entertainment events such as live theatre, dinner theatre, comedy/improv, dance showcases & workshops.
In Motion is proud to be the only theatrical company in the San Joaquin Valley to donate a percentage of their profits from every event, production and performance to a collaborating organization which supports a worthwhile cause.
We are also dedicated to creating win/win scenarios for small to medium sized local businesses through vending and advertising opportunities at our events.
In short, In Motion Theatre Company brings people together to enjoy live entertainment while giving back to the community and supporting local commerce.

In Motion Theatre’s Proposed Future In July 2014, In motion Theatre was conceptualized. By August of that year pre-production began on it’s first production A Zinful Murder. By October it was in full rehearsals and performed for a live audience the first week of December. Since its inception, IMT has continued to move forward. Constantly looking for venues and beneficiaries that could benefit from a fundraising production. February followed with VDAY and The 24 Hour Theatre Challenge in August. One item that was missing, was a production that they could put up with very low production costs and in a very short amount of time. In September, Topsy Turvy’s Flying Circus Improv Troupe was created and modeled on ABC Family’s Whose Line is it Anyway? Now, IMT would like to continue to grow. With a proposed production schedule of a minimum of 2 events per month, we feel we would be ideally situated to bring entertainment, and awareness of noble causes to the San Joaquin Valley.
Finding a Permanent Home For the theatre to become successful, lower production costs and maximize donations to worthy causes, it needs to secure its own permanent venue. In April of 2015 it s officers began scouting in Lodi for the perfect space. They found a building with the right amount of room for performances, rehearsals and events. 210 W. Pine Street. With 8,000 sqft of open space, it is the ideal place to build a theatre. Consisting of a •

The In Motion Foundation In October of 2015 the IMF received tax exempt status (501c3). Founded in November 2014, The In Motion Foundation was established to help facilitate the theatre in producing fundraising events for worthwhile organizations and individuals in need. Without the support of the foundation, the theatre would not be able to secure venues, costumes, materials for sets, provide alcoholic beverages to the audience, borrow props and a multitude of other crap that the foundation has helped us acquire.
Our Mission Statement The In Motion Foundation is dedicated to supporting the enrichment of the local community and actors/artists by proliferating and supporting the performing arts by providing and creating opportunities in the arts to local actors/artists and general audience as a whole. Additionally, IMF is committed to focusing on causes as they arise of specific target groups it chooses to assist which benefit the local community and where the performing arts can contribution to the overall good of the community.
