There he encounters the feisty Princess Aurora, who wants to be a knight and travel the world. But for some reason, her doting parents never let her leave the castle walls…and what’s this thing she’s never heard of called a spindle? Can Rolly help her leave the castle for good? A fun day out for the whole family! (Ages 5+)

The Imagination Movers is the highest-rated and most popular live family act of the year, and the key to the Movers' appeal is their combination of danceable power pop songs with extremely catchy choruses and a knack for inspiring audience participation. Throw in a heaping helping of onstage silliness and you've got a recipe for a live musical event that will truly engage the entire family. It doesn't hurt that the Movers infuse their live shows with musical references to their many inspirations including U2, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys and all sorts of classic and modern artists.
The Imagination Movers began in 2003 as a rock band for kids in New Orleans and have grown into the stars of a hit television series seen in over 55 countries on the Disney Channel. The Movers are four friends who work together in the Idea Warehouse to solve problems through creativity and teamwork. Their friends Nina and Warehouse Mouse are there to help along the way as the Movers brainstorm ideas and explore the Warehouse's many magical rooms.
“What better way to inspire children and teach them about teamwork at a young age than through song,” said Dan Spellens, Director of Theaters & Entertainment for the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center. "It is a pleasure to welcome a creative and talented show like Imagination Movers to the Terrace Theater," he concluded.
