Good morning Jenn, Moira, and colleagues,<br class="">
I too am very inspired by this, our history, and have been copying it all into a Word doc so I don't lose it. It would be great to have it published somewhere.<br class="">
In my high school drama program we embraced the Canadian plays of the 70s most eagerly -- my fondest memories, and what made me choose a theatre career, was seeing Handcuffs at the Tarragon and staging The Ecstasy of Rita Joe in our Grade 13 drama class. Heady
and hopeful days.<br class="">
