<span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri" class="ContentPasted0">One of Canada’s most prolific and celebrated contemporary playwrights, Hannah Moscovitch has seen her work produced domestically
and internationally, on stage, screen, and radio, for nearly two decades. Moscovitch’s plays have been distinguished with high honours including the Governor General’s Award for English-language Drama and Yale University’s Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell
Literature Prize. Critics have bestowed her with titles such as “our most competent playwright, and I don’t mean that as faint praise” (Cushman), “a heavy hitter in Canadian theatre” (Murphy), and “one of contemporary theatre's greatest writers of character”
(Barker 424). And yet, scholarship within Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies has not kept up with Moscovitch’s abundant and acclaimed output, leaving scant critical discourse on her work (Barker, Demers, Jones, Zatzman).

Moscovitch’s adopted hometown, this roundtable invites participants to present short reflections on her body of work in order to seed further scholarship on one of Canada’s most-produced playwrights. Its overarching goal is to generate contributions to and
interest in a forthcoming critical collection on Moscovitch’s plays edited by session co-conveners Sasha Kovacs and Michelle MacArthur.

contribution–whether a specific scene, design rendering, song, program, photo, review, etc. These artifacts will be gathered and circulated in the lead-up to the roundtable, laying the foundation for a “critical scrapbook” that will also inform the structure
of the edited collection in development. Understanding archiving as a site where “knowledge production begins” (Eicchorn 3) and scrapbooking as a “type of feminist archiving” (Watton 1030) that incorporates affective and creative materials and emphasizes collective
knowledge-making, our approach uses the scrapbook as a method of feminist theatre historiography.
