Imagination Theatre has been producing and broadcasting full cast audio dramas on affiliate radio stations all across America since 1996. Featuring great radio mysteries and dramas of our classic character creations, Detective Harry Nile, Kincaid the Strangeseeker, The Hilary Caine Mysteries and more, Imagination Theatre also has exclusive rights, granted by the estate of Dame Jean Conan Doyle, daughter of Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to create and publish “The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” and “The Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” with all original stories and adaptations. The music in the Holmes shows was commissioned and paid for by Jim French Productions as was the music within “The Adventures Harry Nile.” The music we use at the opening and closing of Jim French’s Imagination Theater has been provided by our flagship station KIXI AM of Seattle and are generic themes in the public domain.

Jim French’s Imagination Theater is produced by Aural Vision, LLC, a professional production company, under an agreement with Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG- AFTRA), the union for on screen and voice actors and performers. Every actor we use is a member of that union and a professional talent.
