Women in Canadian Theatre

[Gerd Hauck]

Djanet Sears comes to mind, as do Astrid Janson, Martha Henry, Mary Vingoe,
Ann-Marie McDonald, Kate Lushington..

Thankfully, there's a lot to choose from.

Wendy Lill: outstanding playwright, and (I believe) the first practicing
artist elected to Canada's House of Commons. Extraordinary person and
artist.

Dear colleagues,



I have been invited to contribute articles to a 4-volume dictionary
currently being prepared on women in theatre everywhere for the publishing
house in Paris Des femmes. My contribution will be an overview of women in
anglophone Canadian theatre and short pieces on 5-10 Canadian
"personalities" from the past and the present: playwrights, directors,
actors, technicians, stage managers, designers, costumers, artistic
directors, etc.



Do you have suggestions for me of women in Canadian theatre who are/were
outstanding artists and who have made a significant contribution and
difference? I don't want to overlook anyone and Canada is a vast country
with a significant history. My knowledge certainly has its limits and I
thank you in advance for allowing me to draw on yours.



Thanks for your ideas and any names you can send me.



Louise Forsyth (louise.forsyth at usask.ca)
