Performance Studies students at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor research and write the autobiographical scripts they perform of fascinating people. These pieces are designed as role-modeling stories, which are honest about character flaws and struggles. Some of the role models are clearly negative ones. These performances can be presented on site for schools, churches, museums, civic organizations, and theaters etc. They can also be performed for distance groups via videoconferencing or webcasting technologies.

Dr. Howard presents guidelines for distance communication and performance in her book, Enhanced by Technology, Not Diminished: A Practical Guide to Effective, Distance Communication. McGraw-Hill Inc. is the publisher.                                                          
     
She describes the historic background, rationale, methodology, process, and research related to the work on this page in her book, Autobiographical Writing and Performing: An Introductory, Contemporary Guide to Process and Research in Speech Performance. McGraw-Hill Inc. is the publisher.
