My contribution will be an <br>> 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 <br>> are/wereoutstanding artists and who have made a significant <br>> contribution and<br>> difference? I don't want to overlook anyone and Canada is a vast <br>> countrywith a significant history. My knowledge certainly has <br>> 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>> Louise Forsyth (louise.forsyth@usask.ca)<br>> <br>>
