[Gaetan Charlebois]

Hello all

Fringing this week.

Well the new gizmos are working (for now as with all things technological
these things usually die when you most need them). They will serve to treat
and upload things more quickly, particularly graphics.

Meanwhile, the feasibility study for the National Theatre Calendar and
Registry is going fairly well; I have heard from six or so theatres so far
and they represent most regions of the country. But I'd still like to make
sure that the message gets out to as many people as possible before I
launch, so I am still asking for scouts to at least get me the e-mail
addresses of festivals and theatres (PR people, especially) in their
regions. This project, if it is a go, is not something I want to keep secret
like the Favourite Canadian Plays seems to be (and thank you to Don Rubin
for his recent comments into the Candrama listserv).

Also, don't forget to broadcast your regional news (or flack your play) in
Heavenly Voices. (http://www.canadiantheatre.com/heavenlyvoices.html)

And as it is the closing weeks for telling us about your Favourite Canadian
Plays, please do so quickly if you haven't already.
