SMU School of Social Sciences Associate Professor of Theatre/Performance Studies (Practice) Margaret Chan was featured in an article which highlighted her collaboration with 16 SMU students from a 13-week Postmodern Theatre Studies course, and nine from the Institute of Technical Education’s School of Design and Media, to put up a production titled Mama, Big Bird And The Cat - an adaption of excerpts from plays by the late theatre doyen Kuo Pao Kun last November. Associate Prof Chan had wanted to show how theatre-making itself was a business that demanded professionalism and management skills over the course. "I wanted them to know that theatre is not just about the product of the show itself, but that there is also management involved: marketing and advertising collateral, and having budgets," she said.
