Underdeveloped communication infrastructures have encouraged innovative forms of accessing and using information technology. For some rural farmers in Uganda, a merging of traditional media such as theatrical performances with information technology has brought information to otherwise unconnected areas. Drawing on a year of ethnographic fieldwork among farmers in Uganda, this article analyzes the intersection where traditional and new media merge. The results show that despite the inclusiveness of this approach, combining theatrical performances with information technology can have both empowering and disempowering effects
