Canadian Programs for Visiting Professionals?

[Hans Böggild]

Dear Candrama,

I recently had two of my radio plays translated into Finnish and produced in
Helsinki.  The translator, who is also a playwright and director, is planning
a visit to Vancouver early in 1999.  He plans to see as much theatre as he
can during his stay here.  I was wondering if any of you know of programs
for visiting theatre professionals that could make his stay here as interesting
and enjoyable as possible.  I remember once when I went to England, the
British Council gave me a bunch of free theatre tickets and even took me
out to lunch.  Do we have any similar programs to welcome visiting theatre
artists?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Hans Böggild,
Playwright.
