Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Creating a Street Theatre Show


Here in Ontario, Clay and Paper does some very interesting outdoor, including 
street, performances:

While it's not "street" theatre, Shadowland Theatre has also done some very 
engaging outdoor work:

Perhaps you might find some inspiration there?
