Rob McClure Keynote continued from page 19 I’m an imagination professional. But with that comes huge responsibility. Because, there’s two parts of it imagining what it’s like to be someone else, and there’s re-creating it on stage. Well, re-creating it on stage has been taken away from us during the pandemic. But if you’re really good at this, the part of you that imagines what it’s like to be other people doesn’t turn off.

Because I think it’s only going to make the theatrical landscape richer and stronger. And I’m excited to see where it takes us. Super excited. I’m just going to take a second to use that imagination that we’re all gifted with in this industry and step back into a time machine. You can come with me if you want to. I imagine myself in a time machine, shooting me back in a beam of blue light 30 years, and stepping out onto a lawn and walking up to six-year-old me, alone on the porch with a walkietalkie, being Rick Moranis.
