Subject: Women in Canadian Theatre<BR>
<BR>
Dear colleagues,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I have been invited to contribute articles to a 4-volume dictionary<BR>
currently being prepared on women in theatre everywhere for the publishing<BR>
house in Paris Des femmes. My contribution will be an overview of women in<BR>
anglophone Canadian theatre and short pieces on 5-10 Canadian<BR>
"personalities" from the past and the present: playwrights, directors,<BR>
actors, technicians, stage managers, designers, costumers, artistic<BR>
directors, etc.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Do you have suggestions for me of women in Canadian theatre who are/were<BR>
outstanding artists and who have made a significant contribution and<BR>
difference? I don't want to overlook anyone and Canada is a vast country<BR>
with a significant history. My knowledge certainly has its limits and I<BR>
thank you in advance for allowing me to draw on yours.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your ideas and any names you can send me.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
