This is still fairly new to me, but as I understand it Object theater is a
multimedia presentation around a central theme.  In a small theater setting
it is run by computers and has a range from film, sounds, lights on actual
objects (hence the name) and pretty much anything else they can include to
totally immerse you in the experience.

People from our museum saw several in a couple of museums and found they
were worked on with the people in Sudbury.  The video they shot made it look
very interesting with everything cycling at prearranged times.  The people
they spoke to said it took an enormous amount of planning and wasn't cheap
(but what is nowadays?).

If any one can explain it better, that would be great.  Any information
anyone has would be appreciated.
