In collaboration with this show, the CMCA (Center for Maine Contemporary Art) will offer a live stream ArtLab inspired by the performance. Following the show, ArtLab participants can tune in on CMCA's Facebook from 12:30-1:30pm for the free program. Art kits for the ArtLab will be available at the theater following the Elena Moon Park show; those who will be watching the live stream concert at home can choose to supply their own materials, or pick up an art kit at a pre-arranged time.
