Also of interest this week is the Shady Shakespeare’s performance of Pericles, a brilliantly original, funny, yet gripping performance of the master’s classic play.  Check it out by all means and though we were not allowed to film the play itself, we do have a video preview of the preshow, the Shady Shakespeare cast doing the Time Warp!

Listen Now to Nina Simon

 How will internationally renowned museum dynamo Nina Simon take our Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History into the future?

Just what are her ideas for making a brick and mortar museum more dynamic and compelling, when more and more we get our history and art online?  How can museums encourage interactivity and human interaction rather than squelch it?

And just what are museums 2.0? 

Found out in this episode of the Dr. Future Show with Nina Simon, the new director of our downtown Museum of Art and History!
