Dear colleagues:

I'll be teaching the newly-added Playwriting seminar at the Summer Literary
Seminar in St. Petersburg, Russia in June-July. The programme, which is
American-based, is opening up to Canadian writers this year.

Would you be kind enough to distribute the following information to
potential interesting and interested playwrights amongst your students and
entourage? Thank you.
