🎭For 25 years, IPT has been more than just a place—it’s been a home for creativity, growth, and community.

Whether you joined us as staff, a camper, a parent, or a patron renting a space, you’ve been part of the story that made IPT what it is today. Every laugh, every lesson, every performance, and every moment shared has helped shape this journey.

We are endlessly grateful for each of you who walked through our doors and left your mark. Here’s to the memories we’ve created—and the many more still to come.

Thank you for 25 incredible years.
