I need help on museum theatre chapter
by
Hello All
I am putting together a chapter on museum theatre for a book, tentatively titled and described below. I need examples of your work to include - I am looking for improvised, interactive museum theatre, rather than scripted examples. The editors are asking for a draft within two weeks, so time is of the essence. Thank you.
