However, the faculty director said that the experience was great and felt a positive engaged/public scholarship relationship between campus-community services. In addition, six detailed steps for starting a community service project through an outdoor drama were described. This study may help those who would like to run a successful outdoor performance within community systems. The paper concludes with policy implications and suggestions for future research.
