Theatre Outdoors is a project in cooperation with the Sam Houston Memorial Museum and the Sam Houston State University Department of Theater and Dance. It is sponsored by the Huntsville Arts Council and other local and State agencies to provide community outreach. The Museum as an historical institution has expressed a need for more diverse programming that will reflect all of the populations represented within the scope of their primary mission. 
    Theatre Outdoors workshops provide university theater students with opportunities to enhance their career with new possibilities in the fields of historical interpretation and museum theater. Students internalize much history while they research their characters, period correct costumes, and assist with the writing, directing and performance of historical events. What starts out as written and oral history becomes translated into first person, dramatic storytelling as we go from the page to the stage.
