The crowds at Stage Expo were only part of USITT's 2004 Annual Conference & Stage Expo which was one for the record books. It kicked off with Tony Walton’s Keynote, top center, and concluded when President Bruce Brockman, top right, entered the banquet in full Scottish regalia. In between the event was filled with mentoring, outstanding presenters, stellar sessions, professional development workshops, and even music from a mariachi band.
