      title = {Performance and the Disney theme park experience : the  tourist as actor /},
      abstract = {This collection of essays explores the Disney theme parks  as performance spaces--as immersive theatre spaces--and  examines the agency of the tourist within those spaces. In  contrast to much previous Disney scholarship, Performance  and the Disney Theme Park Experience asserts that park  guests collaborate with Disney Imagineers more than  typically assumed. The books various sections explore  nostalgia, utopia, progress, and fantasy; the ideology of  park environments; the presence of human and  audio-animatronic performers; and the inclusion of outsider  identities within the parks. Jennifer A. Kokai is an  Associate Professor and Theatre Program Coordinator at  Weber State University. She is the author of Swim Pretty:  Aquatic Spectacles and the Performance of Race, Gender, and  Nature (SIU Press, 2017). Tom Robson is Associate Professor  and Coordinator of Academic Programs in the Millikin  University School of Theatre & Dance. He has published on  topics ranging from historical stage technology to African  American theatre to baseball movies.},
