Dolores Kane's Etc. Senior Theatre company got its start in the archives of the Robert Campbell House Museum. The group creates historical dramas within house museums. Last September I saw their standing-room-only show about the wedding of Champ Clark's daughter in Bowling Green, Missouri. Clark took out ads in all the Missouri newspapers and invited the entire state to the wedding. The town was overwhelmed by the crowd that may have gotten as large as 12,000 people. Etc. Senior Theatre dramatized what various members of the family and the servants might have discussed in the many rooms of the house.
The group has created an hour-long adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and is looking for sites throughout Missouri to offer the program during the coming November/December season. The program is staged in multiple rooms. Guests move from room to room to experience the drama.
Interested house museums should contact Dolores Kane before the end of August if interested. To preview a DVD of this performance, please contact Dolores at
