Specifically, Siong Leng Musical Association (hereafter, SLMA or the Association), which champions Nanyin musical theatre in Singapore, is selected to anchor the discussion. The paper will examine SLMA s web strategy under 3 subheadings, namely: a) Reach: effectiveness of official websites and other virtual presence set up by followers; b) Engagement: virtual audience participation in social media sites; mobile accessibility; c) Augmentation: innovative blending of web-based services to solve operational issues of publicity, collaboration and fundraising. Overall transformational impacts to transmission, sharing, collaboration, communication and education are also discussed. a9781467389938 (ISBN)
