A Rehearsed Reading of the iMPERFECT libretto (most current revision) was held on the stage of the Heritage Theatre in Gympie. This was made possible through an arts development grant from the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Queensland and the generous participation of members of the Gympie Performing Arts Collaboration, St. Patrick's College drama program, and many more community theatre enthusiasts and their families.
A small audience of community arts stakeholders, small business owners and Regional Council representatives were in attendance. An open forum after the presentation garnered positive feedback, some commitment of continued support, and, most importantly, a critique of the presented work which informed the ensuing revisions of the book and lyrics of iMPERFECT Messiah.
