Call for INSIGHTS Articles: Extending the Museum Experience with Museum Theatre


The Summer 2010 issue of IMTAL Insights will focus on how museum theatre can extend to particular experiences outside of the traditional stage within your museum. Do actors add a particular dazzle to a special event or overnight experience? Do birthday parties come alive through amazing performances? Do you have a performance that is completely integrated into an exhibition, or a sketch that augments an overlooked exhibit? Do you use theatre techniques to role train front-line staff at admissions?

We are looking for 250- 1000 word articles from different museums to serve as case studies about how theatre experiences have transcended into new and interesting departments within your museum.

If you are interested in writing an article/ case study, please contact, Marcos Stafne, Publications Officer at pubsofficer@imtal.org

All articles will be due by May 25. Have a great idea, but don’t know where to start, email me, and I’ll be happy to help get you started!
