<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>To the many Canadian theatre professionals
who belong to this listserv,</FONT></STRONG>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My name is Andrea Ramolo and I am a fourth year
theatre major at York University in Toronto. I am partaking in an exciting
independent study under the supervision of theatre professor, scholar,
and critic Don Rubin. The focus of my study is to locate, through
various sources, any audio or visual recordings of Canadian plays or Canadian
theatre documentaries. These can include anything from biographies or
interviews with Canadian theatre personnel to documentaries on the creation of
various Canadian theatre companies. Our hope is to locate various sources,
catalogue them, and one day make them accessible to theatre scholars,
professors, and university or college students. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am definitely not suggesting
that the medium of film can do full justice in presenting a live theatrical
experience. It is evident that the two arts speak different
languages. Rather, the objective of the study is to provide visual aids
that document the Canadian theatrical canon so that our theatre history
may be preserved not only in written form but also in audio and visual
form.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If any of you can be of
assistance in this study, your contacts and resources will be greatly
appreciated. </FONT></DIV>
