<div class="elementToProof">Hi all,</div>
<div class="elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="elementToProof">I've written an informal professional memoir about my life in the theatre and theatre studies in the academy. I don't expect anyone to want to publish it, but I'm offering it to anyone who wants to read it. It has no gossip or big
personal revelations, no-one gets dissed, and I don't claim to have been exceptional. But it does record from a specific individual position six decades of learning and work in arguably the most formative period in Canadian theatre and Canadian theatre studies
(the 60s to the present).</div>

some of what I've learned, so I've dedicated it to the folks from whom I've learned the most: Sandy Leggat, Robin Phillips, Tracy Davis, Monique Mojica, Yvette Nolan, Soheil Parsa, Nina Lee Aquino, and Majdi Bou Matar. And of course to my partner, Christine
Bold.</div>
