We've been offering a host of participatory and interactive experiences at the Museum of Art & History this season.

These are: Dance United, which produces dance performances featuring primarily juvenile offenders, the Birmingham Opera Company, which co-creates innovative productions with Birmingham residents, and the Theater Royal Stratford East, which is planning a community-driven program for their 2012 season. was the most overwhelming answer.
