I live just about 10 minutes away from Imagination Stage and grew up taking many of their classes. Imagination stage was my introduction to theater, and I would say it set me up pretty well. I always loved their classes and how passionate the teachers were, and it inspired me to continue theater as I grew up. The new exhibition experience described in this article seems like something childhood me (and even present me) would love to do. I am a huge fan of immersive theater, even though I did not have my first experience with it until relatively recently. Getting an early start to experiencing this when I was younger likely would have made me fall in love with theater even more. I enjoy Imagination Stage's focus on "the needs of now." This isn't something that was necessarily present when I was there, but it is a great thing and I would say it is the main thing that will contribute to the theater's success in the future.
