<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica;">The pressing catalyst for this change is that the host, UNB IT, is no longer supporting listervs—so it’s got to go. In response, CATR has created two, more robust, fora for the digital age:</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

There you’ll find plenty of information about Canadian drama, theatre, and performance studies. And when you join CATR/ACRT as a paying MEMBER, you will be able to LOG IN to engage with other members in backstage discussion Groups that you create. In the coming
weeks (i.e. before Sept. 1) these backstage discussion Groups will be available for paid-up CATR/ACRT members to access and create (so stay tuned!).</span></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica;">At this juncture, we should acknowledge the fundamental importance this listerv has had to “our” communications over the years. Created by UNB’s Ed Mullaly (hi Ed!) on April 30, 1993—shortly after Al Gore invented
the internet—with email invitations to Denis Salter and ‘Jill,’ the Candrama listerv has grown to more than 400 members, scholars, scholar-practioners, artists, and friends of Canadian theatre. In Ed’s words from his very first Candrama missive: “The discussion
group is really, when the romance is removed from the notion, a glorified electronic carbon paper which allows you to send the same message to a lot of people at once.” Enter: Web fora … and Facebook.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
