Our History
Sam Trego founded Imagination Entertainment with the concept of bringing creative, lavish stage productions to the corporate world. iL CiRCo and On Broadway were two of the company’s earliest and still most successful shows.
In 1999, Imagination Entertainment was asked to develop a show for the Samsung Corporation headlining their venue at the Sydney Olympics. The iL CiRCo troupe gained worldwide attention from this, and was soon after invited to perform for royalty, festivals, exclusive fundraising events, and corporate galas worldwide. We were also approached, during this same time frame, to create a new, state of the art show for SeaWorld San Diego. Cirque de la Mer created by Steve Gale of Imagination Entertainment opened in 2001 to excellent reviews and still plays to this day known as Cirque Electric.
Since then, the many production shows created and produced by Imagination Entertainment have played to over 10 million audience members world-wide and we have standing relationships with countless corporate partners. Our acts and creations have been utilized by the NBA, NFL, Cirque du Soleil, Cavalia, NBC’s Celebrity Circus, Live Nation and countless others.
Steve and Amy Gale took over the company in February 2019. Amy’s background as a professional dancer and choreographer and 18 years as an Executive Producer for the company along with Steve’s background in professional acrobatics, art and theatrical rigging, bring a vast amount of experience to the table when creating smoothly running and creative event experiences for their clients.

See ExamplesWe received such glowing compliments of your team both from my partners and our clients. It’s always a tiny bit nerve-racking hiring people you’ve never met in person, but you certainly met and exceeded all of my expectations. Your professionalism matched your talents. I do hope we’ll have another opportunity to work together, or that I get to come to another show!!
Thank YOU for coming to our Club and putting on a show that our members absolutely LOVED and will certainly be hard to beat. Working with you proved to be the most effortless part of the whole event. Your attention to detail and follow through were greatly appreciated. What an amazing weekend it was! Thanks again and I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future.
I can go on and on with accolades about the show, but what I want to do is hug each and every one of you. Watching the talent rehearse all day, I kept wondering, where are they going to get the energy to put on a great show. Well, not only did they find the energy, but you would think they relaxed all day, and this was the first thing they did that day. WOW! I really hope we can do this again soon! Your service attitude before and during really kept my mind at ease. Your production met our expectations and then some!
