Dramamuse is History in ActionDramamuse is one of North America’s oldest resident museum theatre companies, and it has been delighting and enlightening visitors at the Canadian Museum of Civilization since its first performance on June 29, 1989. The company’s chief mandate is to interpret the collections of the Canadian Museum of Civilization in a lively and exciting way. The group engages visitors through short plays and interactive theatre. Dramamuse is currently developing a hybrid of these two forms, combining content-rich scripted scenes with improvised interaction. Dramamuse is History in Action.
