Hi
everyone,
Throughout the
summer at the Baseball Hall of Fame we offer short 15 minute character
presentations in the musuem throughout the day. For these presentations our
program host takes on a specific role. A host dressed as a World War
II pilot or Rosie the Riveter type figure tells visitors about the
All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during the war, while a host
presenting as a ballpark vendor talks to visitors abou the history of vending in
baseball and allows them to test out how heavy the hot dog containers are that
get lugged up and down stadium stairs.
Our program hosts
typically consist of summer interns and part-time seasonal staff. As a result,
there is often little time for training before these presenters are out in front
of the public. I was wondering if others on the list have run similar museum
theater programs, and could explain what type of training their presenters went
through.
