THEATRE RESEARCH IN CANADA/RECHERCHES THÉÂTRALES AU CANADA is pleased to 
announce that Prof. Marlis Schweitzer will be its next General Editor. 
Marlis will start a five-year term in September 2012, serving as 
Associate Editor alongside outgoing Editor Glen Nichols in her first year.

University, is the author of /When Broadway Was the Runway: Theater, 
Fashion, and American Culture /and has published articles in a number of 
journals including /Theatre Journal, Theatre Survey, Theatre Research in

SSHRC-funded project that explores transnational theatre culture in the 
early 1900s.

Congratulations, Marlis -- we're delighted to have you on board!

I would also like to publicly thank Glen for his years of incredible 
service to our community during his tenure at TRiC/RTaC, the last two 
years of which he managed to do while in a demanding new position as 
Director of Drama at Mount Allison University. Glen's meticulous work, 
sound judgement and generous spirit have made him a pleasure to work with.

Best,
Barry.
