Announcement of Meeting on Copyright (fwd)

[Richard Plant]

Hello all:

This message has been sent to me, and I pass it on (somewhat belatedly, I
admit -- but life has its list of tasks which take time.)

I need hardly draw attention to the importance of the copyright
legislation on theatre and theatre research as well as teaching Canadian
theatre.
