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>
<br>
