B.C. THEATRE CONFERENCE

[Jim Hoffman's T*H*E*A*T*R*I*X]

                        CALL FOR PAPERS

                STAGING THE PACIFIC PROVINCE:

        A CONFERENCE ON BRITISH COLUMBIA THEATRE
---------------------------------------------------------------
        This first-ever academic conference on the theatre of British
Columbia aims to bring together academics, students, practitioners, and
the public to discuss and celebrate the great variety of theatrical
experience of the province -- a theatre that still remains largely
unexamined. The conference will feature papers, panels, and guest
speakers, as well as performances, videos, and displays.

        We encourage papers from a wide variety of disciplines and topics
relating to British Columbia Theatre, such as

        theatrical history              architectural analysis
        anthropological studies         economics of theatre
        criticism and theory            literary studies
        cultural studies                broadcasting/media

-----------------------------------------------------------------

                THE CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD AT

            THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF THE CARIBOO

                  KAMLOOPS, BRITISH COLUMBIA
